Abstract

In-vitro and in-vivo efficacy of fluorquinolone vs chloramphenicol and oxytetracycline on 287 cases of clinical mastitis was studied. In-vitro studies showed highest sensitivity to ofloxacin followed by ciprofloxacin and enrofloxacin. In-vivo observations showed greater recovery rate from clinical mastitis when treated with enrofloxacin and diclofenac sodium than enrofloxacin alone.
