ABSTRACT
The current study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of kohkin herbal gel (M/S Ayurvet Limited, India) in treating sub clinical mastitis. Out of 41 cows 20 cows were positive with MCMT and distributed among two groups each containing 20 animals. Untreated control group (Group T0) (n=20) was not given any treatment.
Treatment Group animals, Group T1 (n=20) were treated with Kohkin herbal gel (applied gently to the cows udder twice daily after every milking for five consecutive days gently by massaging). Parameters like SCC, milk yield and milk fat percentage were recorded before and after the experiment and analysed statistically. Results revealed that SCC was significantly (p<0.05) decreased in Kohkin herbal gel treated group T1 in comparison to untreated control group T0. Milk yield and milk fat % was also improved 5 day after treatment and maintained there after. Restoration of these parameters towards normalcy after the treatment indicated that Kohkin herbal gel not only eliminates udder infection in sub clinical mastitis but also controls the mastitis by potentiating the udder immunity without any side effects.
Keywords: Kohkin herbal gel, SCC, milk yield, milk fat.
