Abstract

Mastitis, an inflammation of the mammary gland, can be clinical or subclinical; it is one of
the most important multifactorial pathologies. The current research aimed to evaluate the
impact of a symbiotic on subclinical mastitis in dairy cattle and its effect on milk quality.
Two milk samples were taken from two groups of dairy cows of different breeds, particularly
Montbéliard, Flekvi, and Holstein, all fed the same ration. The cows were divided into two
groups: an experimental group of 18 cows that received the symbiotic “SYMBIOVEBA®”
as an alternative treatment and 10 cows served as a control group. Subclinical mastitis was
assessed using the California Mastitis Test (CMT), and milk quality was analyzed with the
Lactoscan. The symbiotic\'s impact on preventing as well as reducing subclinical mastitis in
dairy cattle, and on milk quality was evaluated. According to the obtained results, the
symbiotic caused a modification in the composition of milk, characterized by a nonsignificant increase in butyrous content. These results suggest that the use of the symbiotic
has a positive impact on subclinical mastitis. The change in milk composition, with a nonsignificant increase in butyrate, may indicate an improvement in udder health and a reduction
in the symptoms of subclinical mastitis. This research highlights the potential importance of
using symbiotics as an alternative treatment for subclinical mastitis and providing a
foundation for future studies and interventions to improve dairy cattle health and milk quality
Keywords: Subclinical mastitis, symbiotic, physico-chemical parameters, dairy cattle, CMT.
