Effect of Antibiotics
On One Type of Mastitis
Of the 20 kinds of infection
which can cause mastitis, four
produce 99 per cent of all cases,
according to a report in the Jour
nal of the American Veterinary
Medical Association. The most
common type is caused b; ~*rep
toagalactia This type is the most
easily controlled with antibiotics.
To determine the significance
of the type caused by hemolytic
staphylococci, veterinary scien
tists in Ontario, Canada, investi
gated several dairy herds. The
quarters of the mammary glands
for each cows in the herds were
tested and classified as normal,
chronically infected or acutely in
fected
The status of the quarters was
considered “negative” for masti
tis when no abnormal organisms
were found, “corners’ when or
ganisms were present without an
increase in white cells, and “pos
tive” when both infectious or
ganisms and an above average
number of white cells were pres
ent
The effectiveness of antibiotic
ti eatment seems to depend on the
condition of the glands and dura
tion of the infection before treat
ment was begun, the veterinary
scientists reported. No single
course of treatment is as effective,
the American Veterinary Medical
Association sajs, as a complete
program of mastitis treatment
and prevention under veterinary
supervision
