Mastitis, a potentially fatal mammary gland infection, is the most common disease in dairy cattle in the United States and worldwide. It is also the most costly disease to the dairy industry. [1] Milk from cows suffering from mastitis has an increased somatic cell count. Prevention and control of mastitis requires consistency in sanitizing the ...
Mastitis occurs in other animals as in humans, and is especially a concern in livestock, since milk from the affected udders of livestock may enter the food supply and pose a health risk. It is a major condition in some species, like dairy cows. It is the cause of much unwanted suffering for the dairy cows.
The most common clinical sign for infected cattle is ulcerative lesions of the skin. [13] Mastitis, an infection of the udder that is most commonly caused by species of the Streptococcus and Staphylococcus genera, may also be caused by C. pseudotuberculosis in rare circumstances. [14] [11] [13] Infected cattle may also have a higher frequency ...
Other applications of aPDT include the treatment of mastitis in dairy cattle and sheep, [112] [113] [114] and sole ulcers and surgical wound healing in cattle. [111] [115] Exotic, zoo, and wildlife medicine is challenging and stands out as another field of possibility for aPDT.
Milk available in the market. Milk borne diseases are any diseases caused by consumption of milk or dairy products infected or contaminated by pathogens.Milk-borne diseases are one of the recurrent foodborne illnesses—between 1993 and 2012 over 120 outbreaks related to raw milk were recorded in the US with approximately 1,900 illnesses and 140 hospitalisations.

Mastitis has cost American dairy industries an estimated $1.5 to 2 billion per year in treating dairy cows. [33] In 1994, an EU scientific commission was asked to report on the incidence of mastitis and other disorders in dairy cows and on other aspects of their welfare. [16]

GBS is a major cause of mastitis (an infection of the udder) in dairy cattle and an important source of economic loss for the industry. GBS in cows can either produce an acute febrile disease or a subacute more chronic condition. Both lead to diminishing milk production (hence its name: agalactiae meaning "of no milk"). [69]
