Nanomaterials have been used for diagnosis and therapy in the human medical field, while their application in veterinary medicine and animal production is still relatively new. Nanotechnology, however, is a rapidly growing field, offering the possibility of manufacturing new materials at the nanoscale level, with the formidable potential to revolutionize the agri-food sector by offering novel treatment options for prevalent and expensive illnesses such as bovine mastitis. Since current treatments are becoming progressively more ineffective in resistant bacteria, the development of innovative products based on both nanotechnology and phytotherapy may directly address a major global problem, antimicrobial resistance, while providing a sustainable animal health solution that supports the production of safe and high-quality food products. This review summarizes the challenges encountered presently in the treatment of bovine mastitis, emphasizing the possibility of using new-generation nanomaterials (e.g., biological synthesized nanoparticles and graphene) and essential oils, as candidates for developing novel treatment options for bovine mastitis.
纳米材料已应用于人类医学领域的诊断和治疗，而其在兽医学和动物生产中的应用仍相对较新。然而，纳米技术是一个快速发展的领域，提供了在纳米尺度制造新材料的可能性，具有通过为诸如牛乳腺炎等常见且昂贵的疾病提供新的治疗选择来彻底改变农业食品部门的巨大潜力。由于目前的治疗方法对耐药细菌的效果越来越差，基于纳米技术和植物疗法开发创新产品可能直接解决一个重大的全球问题——抗菌耐药性，同时提供一种可持续的动物健康解决方案，以支持安全和高质量食品的生产。本综述总结了目前在牛乳腺炎治疗中遇到的挑战，强调了使用新一代纳米材料（如生物合成纳米颗粒和石墨烯）和精油作为开发牛乳腺炎新治疗选择候选物的可能性。
