Bovine mastitis is a highly prevalent disease in dairy cattle, and one of the most important diseases affecting the world’s dairy industry; it places a heavy economic burden on milk producers all over the world. Mastitis is inflammation of parenchyma of mammary gland characterized by physical, chemical and usually bacteriological changes in milk and pathological changes in glandular tissues. Mastitis thus has become major area of concern in the field of veterinary clinical practice. Despite the voluminous scientific work and literature published on mastitis, the problem still persist owing to lack of scientific approach in the diagnoses and treatment of bovine mastitis. The situation has been complicated by the continued indiscriminate use of antibiotics, wrong approach of selection of suitable antibiotics after culture and sensitivity test of milk. However it is difficult to judge the clinical efficacy of a drug solely on in vitro test, as there is large variation in response among herds and within herds owing to type of organism involved, degree of udder induration, physico-chemical properties and kinetic behavior of drugs in udder & milk, site of injection and sensitivity of udder pathogens. The in vitro efficacy of an antibiotic against the isolate may not be achieved in vivo since many factors affect the penetration of drug into the udder tissue/site of infection like lipid solubility and tissue protein binding of the drug, pH of milk and inflammatory exudates/ barrier at the site. Thus, following culture and sensitivity test the additional information on factors like presence of fat globules, reticulin, pH of milk sample etc. could prove to be of vital importance in selection of medicines.
