Abstract

Thirty two buffaloes with acute mastitis were selected for the study and evaluated for colour, consistency and odour of milk. Cultural examination of milk samples revealed Staphylococci sp. and E. coli organisms and samples were sensitive to Enrofloxacin. Buffaloes were treated with long acting Enrofloxacin along with supportive therapy. Out of 32 buffaloes, 21 buffaloes showed improvement by first dose and improvement in 7 buffaloes was noticed after 2nd dose of therapy. In the present study, 87.5 percent of buffaloes were cured from mastitis after 6 days of therapy.
