Mastitis, especially caused by contagious mastitis agents is
the most prevalent cause of intra mammary infections (IMI)
in Türkiye. Contribution to mammary hygiene by post milking
teat dipping with disinfectants is evidenced to decrease
mastitis. An environment and user friendly disinfectant was
observed on new IMI in 10 lactating cows in the Faculty's
Farm, Konya, in this study. Two cows with subclinical mastitis
at the beginning of the observation were not diagnosed
mastitis again after 60 day's post milking teat dipping by
the test disinfectant (right quarters). More IMI occurred in
the control group (left quarters). No mycotic and clinical
mastitis were occurred after trial (by both control and test
disinfectants) in any of the quarters. Skins of the quarters
to which test disinfectant has been applied did not showed
any alterations as evidenced clinically by during the trial,
although it was not analyzed histo-pathologically. The test
disinfectant by comparison with the control showed that
it may have a potential to prevent mastitis as evidenced by
this preliminary observation.
