Description
Summary:The main objective of this research was to measure the effectiveness of homeopathic intraruminal bowling, on the somatic cell count (SSC) in dual-purpose cows diagnosed with subclinical and clinical mastitis belonging to farms in the region of Los Lagos, Chile. The present study was carried out in 5 dairy farms, under a non-probabilistic method a total of 30 samples were chosen, 6 from each farm, of which 4 were “case” and 2 “control”, for a total of 20 and 10, respectively for each group. Six cows per farm with higher SSC were chosen, that were clinically healthy and positive for the LDH test, 4 were case group, to which the product was applied on day 0, while the remaining 2 cows were control group (without product application). The tests were performed based on somatic cell count (SSC) (milk control), and milk lactate dehydrogenase (MLD) test, measuring these 2 diagnostic tests at day 0 and after 21 days. The results of this study show close to 88% effectiveness reducing the RCS below 200,000 cells/ml.
