Abstract

In order to prevent mammary gland' disease, the specialists of InterChemmet LLC, to-gether with scientists from the St. Petersburg State Academy of Veterinary Medicine, have developed a hygiene product. "Compomol DS +" is used to treat the skin of the nipples of the udder before milking. It thoroughly and quickly cleanses the skin from various contaminants and helps to activate milk flow. Since the gate for the penetration of staphy-lococci and streptococci into the udder is an open nipple canal, foam treatment of each nipple was carried out. The nipple was dipped into a foaming glass with a 40% solu-tion of Compomol DS +. After that, the nip-ple was wiped with a soft napkin. Another product called Compomol DS Green Eco developed by InterChemmet LLC is applied to the udder nipples immediately after milking. The drug helps to normalize blood circulation after milking, has a wound healing property. The drug forms a mem-brane. This limits the access of microflora to the udder through the nipple, since the sphincter of the nipple canal remains open for 30 minutes after milking. When using «Compomol DS Green Eco» for 180 days, no negative effects on the skin of the nipples were observed. After hygienic treatment of the nipples, the animals be-haved calmly while putting on cups on the nipples and during milking, which contribut-ed to the complete extraction of milk from the mammary gland. The amount of residual milk after milking was not more than 40-60 ml of milk. An analysis of the results of the research indicates that the above hygiene products reduce the incidence of cows with mastitis by 33.4% and do not cause harmful effects to both animals and the staff. Using of hygiene products on the farm in 96 cows with-in 180 days of the experiment allowed to reduce economic damage by 39900 rubles. Measures aimed at prevention of cow’s mastitis incidence.
