Mastitis Prevention Programme (MPP)

Objective: To minimize the economical loss of milk producers by controlling subclinical mastitis and rationalizing the use of antibiotic usage.
Identification of DCS according to the mastitis visit, milk production and cross breed population.

Identification of CMT positives

•Bulk milk CMT of pooled cow & buff milk at DCS
•Individual animal CMT testing at farmers’ homestead if bulk milk CMT positive
•Regular cycles of testing at DCS and individual animal level four round in the year.

Treatment of CMT positives

•Trisodium citrate regimen to CMT positive animals 10gm for ten day and if again positive repeat Trisodium citrate with formulation having Vitamin A & E, Zinc and Selenium
•Antibiotic course to TSC non-responsive animals
•Management of chronically infected animals

Repeat the same round minimum four times in a year.

Ethnoveternary Preparations (EVP)

With intensified dairy farming for maximum production of milk using exotic breeds, high disease incidence and use of antimicrobials and other chemical drugs are growing. The excessive and indiscriminate use of antibiotics and other chemical drugs in animal production has led to their residues in the milk and other animal products; it also led to formation of antibiotic resistant microorganisms, which are causing severe problems in human and animal health.
The traditional health care approaches have effective solutions for animals. Ethno-veterinary practices are implemented in our union since September’2019. We are preparing remedy at our union level and such remedy used in our routine veterinary special visits without using antibiotics in Pyrexia, Mastitis, Enteritis and FMD right now to rationalize the use of antibiotics. We also propagate many other ethno-veterinary practices in milk producer so they will use such practices in their animals.
Results of the field ethno-veterinary practices are as below.

SN	Disease	EVP TREATMENT	EVP REVIEWED	EVP RESULT
				CURED	% CURED	UNCURED	% UNCURED
1	PYREXIA	2612	2577	2235	87%	342	13%
2	MASTITIS	2580	2526	2054	81%	472	19%
3	ENTERITIS	1065	1049	895	84%	154	15%
	TOTAL	6257	6152	5184	84%	968	16%

We also planning to make available ethno-veterinary remedy at DCS level so milk producer will get such remedy from his own DCS.
