Abstract
The antibacterial activity of a phytobiotic based on the essential oil complex Salvia sclarea, Mentha canadensis, Mentha piperita and Coriandrum sativum for external use in inflammatory processes of the cow udder was studied. The microflora composition and microbial associations of pathogens were studied before and after the treatment of the nipples with the preparation. It was found that after the phytobiotic application, the frequency of detection on the mucous membranes of Str. uberis, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, S. aureus, E. coli, Salmonella spp decreased. The number of associations of pathogenic strains decreased, and the severity of the inflammatory process decreased.
Highlights
The spread of antimicrobial resistance in the microbiocenoses of farm animals inevitably leads to a gradual decrease in the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy for opportunistic infections
The study of the phytobiotic antibacterial activity based on the active complex of Salvia sclarea, Mentha canadensis, Mentha piperita and Coriandrum sativum was carried out
Microbiological analysis of the material selected before the start of the experiment showed that the mucous membranes of the cow nipple mouth were largely contaminated with facultative pathogenic microorganisms
Summary
The spread of antimicrobial resistance in the microbiocenoses of farm animals inevitably leads to a gradual decrease in the effectiveness of antibiotic therapy for opportunistic infections. Microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract, the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, and the reproductive system in modern conditions of exploitation of highly productive animals often cause inflammatory processes, postpartum and post-traumatic complications, pathologies in newborn animals, and can cause an extensive purulent septic process in conditions of immunodeficiency Treatment of such conditions in animals often becomes unprofitable due to the low effectiveness of antibiotics and the need for expensive antibacterial preparations of recent generations. In situations when a large preparation consumption is required, for example, to improve the health of livestock at a livestock enterprise, and the effect obtained from phytobiotics, phytopreparations is sufficient, their use can become the method of choice Another advantage of phytobiotics based on secondary plant metabolites is the availability of raw materials. Among the plants of each climate zone, there are those that contain a significant amount of active substances that have an antimicrobial effect
