Abstract
Mastitis represents one of the most significant health disorders in dairy cow herds. They can produce significant direct and indirect losses. In relation to the intensity of the changes that are present, mastitis can be marked as subclinical or clinical. Clinical forms of mastitis are accompanied by clear changes in the mammary gland tissue and secretion of the mammary gland and changes in the general condition of the animal. Often, if there is no adequate and timely therapy, they can have a fatal outcome. Because of this, it is necessary to approach the procedure of diagnosis and treatment of severe clinical forms of mastitis with special attention. This includes program of mastitis control with focus on clinical changes and emphasis on urgent therapy.
