Does someone knows of alternative treatments ?
I am searching for companies/projects that found solutions to cure mastitis without antibiotics.
Thank you very much !
There is the concept of autogenous vaccines, vaccines for therapeutic use, composed of antigens from the disease causing bacteria. In the modern management of productive livestock, autogenous vaccines might not be used for therapeutic purpose on a regular basis. A slightly adapted approach is to use those vaccines as herd-specific vaccines to protect the animals once cases of mastitis are recorded in a group of animals. Here is a link (to a German website) which may help: https://www.biocheck-leipzig.de/index.php/de/stallspezifischer-impfstoff-und-autovakzine .
Mastitis when occured has always been effective with use of antibiotics through intramammary route, based on a local research yet to be further documented has shown that mixture of the following leaf extract can help in mastitis (neem plant,fluted pumpkin plant and Aloevera plant)
mastitis big problem in dairy cattle and its treatment may be systemic and locally
but you can treat the inflammation by injection of ( penicillin + gentamycin + dexamethasone ) together inside teat directly
Of the experience of the process of alternative treatment for mastitis is frequent number of milking times, preferably 4 to 6 times a day with the addition of zinc in food
Hello, I tried thyme essential oil diluted with vaseline as a massage-gel on udder affected by mastitis it gave very good results but it remains to be tested on a large scale for confirmation. I hope this will help you. Good luck
Sensitivity test must be done before choosing the appropriate antibiotic which may be injected systemically
There are vaccines for E coli. For control of staphs and streps in a pastoral situation without antibiotics see "A study of subclinical mastitis in two herds, one managed organically, the other conventionally, and the effect of different management strategies" (full text available)
Ciprofloxacin may be used intramusculerly as broad spectrum antibiotic for cases of mastitis
The company where I work (HIPRA, www.hipra.com) has developed two vaccines against mastitis in cows:
- STARTVAC, against S.aureus, E. coli and CNS: https://bit.ly/2UTC2qO
- UBAC, against S. uberis: https://bit.ly/2IUwgUb
Mastitis may control by use of Povidine and glycerine in 4:1 ratio as test dip after milking in morning and evening
Conduct prevention, vaccinations, continuous cleaning and especially the ground for the animals and the periodic examination reduces injury
Ethnoveterinary medicine has been found to be very effective in controlling mastitis at the doorstep of farmers with a negligible cost involved
The formula for controlling acute clinical mastitis is as under
1. Turmeric Powder (rhizome or powder)- 50g
2. Limestone- 20-25g
3.Aloe vera -250g
4. Lemon juice of 2 lemon
Make a paste of fluidy nature and apply on udder by massaging for 5 times a day. Result will start within two or three application. Adding a video to demonstrate the same.

Aloe vera, turmeric and calcium hydroxide very good
external application on the udder
feed two lemon three times per day for 5 days
I have a herbal mastitis spray
just spray 3 times for 5 days
Probiotic bacteria, and herbals are the new promising therapeutic regimens for mastitis.
