Dr.Zafar Sir. Thanks a lot for a very nice and useful information.

Helllo Dr Zafar and others, I would like to suggest you to please go through our article published in 'Engormix' sometime ago entitled 'Pathobiology, etiology and treatment of mastitis in buffaloes" by KS Dhillon, Jasmer Singh from Punjab Agricultural University, College of Vety. Sciences, Ludhiana. This article provides details of the cause of mastitis and its radical cure/control in dairy animals. There are some pharmaceuticals which have come out with preparations for the control of mastitis. The basic cause of mastitis in dairy animals is the problem of citrate synthesis in the udder. The main functions of citrate in udder are: 1. Maintain normal pH (~6.50) of udder, 2. Sequester Calcium (Ca++) in milk and preserve the fluidity of milk. In citrate deficiency everything proceeding in concert goes haywire and the result is mastitis. This ailment can be effectively controlled by the administration of Trisodium citrate -30gms dissolved in about 100ml of water as a drench once daily till cure-which takes usually 3-4 days. The sterile solution of this salt can also be used I/V as 10 % given 50ml at a time followed by oral administration as mentined above. This treatment restores the normal pH and prevents flake formation which are the "Hallmarks" of mastitis. For any further discussion on any aspect of this economically most important disease any body is most welcome. Jasmer Singh Ph D
