- Abstract
The aim of present investigation was to evaluate the therapeutic potential of aqueous and ethanolic extracts of Piper nigrum in subclinical mastitis in cattle. In present study, 12 subclinical mastitis affected cows were grouped in 2 groups of six cows each viz., group I cows were administered with aqueous extract of Piper nigrum @ 200 mg/kg body weight daily for 7 days and group II cows were administered orally daily with alcoholic extract of Piper nigrum @ 200 mg/kg body weight for 7 days. Pre- treatment and posttreatment milk samples were analyzed for various tests. In group I, there was significant decrease in somatic cell count, pH and electrical conductivity between the pre-treatment and post-treatment samples. There was no significant change in fat per cent and protein per cent but the lactose per cent and SNF per cent were significantly increased. In group II, there was significant decrease in somatic cell count, pH and electrical conductivity between the pre-treatment and post-treatment samples. There was no significant change in fat per cent but the protein per cent, lactose per cent and SNF per cent were significantly increased. The bacteriological cure rate for group I and group II were 50 % and 60 %, respectively.
