The objective was to evaluate the efficacy of a botanical product (PHYTO-MAST(®)) for the intra-mammary treatment of clinical mastitis (CM) in dairy cows managed in an organic system. The study involved 194 naturally occurring cases of clinical mastitis. Treatment was applied every 12 hours for 3 days and cows were evaluated for clinical cure starting on day 4. Outcomes of interest consisted of mastitis resolution at day 4, time to resolution, somatic cell score (SCS) after recovery, and bacteriological cure at 14 and 28 d after treatment. There was no significant effect on clinical mastitis resolution at day 4 for treatment compared with the control group. However, there was a faster recovery for the treatment group compared to the control group with median intervals from end of treatment to recovery of 4.6 d and 6.5 d, respectively. There was no effect on the probability of a SCS < 4 (200 000 SC/mL) after treatment. No significant effects were found for treatment on bacteriological cure at days 14 and 28.
目的是评估一种植物产品(PHYTO-MAST(®))对采用有机养殖系统的奶牛临床型乳房炎(CM)进行乳房内治疗的效果。该研究纳入了194例自然发生的临床型乳房炎病例。每12小时进行一次治疗,持续3天,并从第4天开始评估奶牛的临床治愈情况。感兴趣的结果包括第4天乳房炎消退情况、消退时间、恢复后的体细胞评分(SCS)以及治疗后14天和28天的细菌学治愈情况。与对照组相比,治疗对第4天临床型乳房炎的消退没有显著影响。然而,治疗组的恢复速度比对照组快,从治疗结束到恢复的中位间隔分别为4.6天和6.5天。治疗后对SCS < 4(200 000个细胞/毫升)的概率没有影响。在第14天和第28天,治疗对细菌学治愈没有显著影响。
