The outbreak of mastitis lead to heavy economic losses in dairy industries by deteriorating the quality and quantity of milk. Inappropriate usage of antimicrobials such as wrong dose, drug or duration may contribute to the increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR) without improving the outcome of treatment. Mastilep, a non-antibiotic polyherbal gel containing herbal ingredients is generally applied on udder and teats as precautionary measure and for treatment of subclinical mastitis and clinical mastitis as a co therapeutic medicine along with the prescribed doses of antibiotics. A study at ARF R&D Centre was taken up for determination of the mastitis causing organisms in dairy animals and its sensitivity towards commonly used antibiotics. Overall, it was found that Ceftriaxone/tazobactam, Ciprofloxacin, Cefoperozone/sulbactam, Oxytetracycline, Neomycin, Chloramphenicol were more sensitive than rest of the antibiotics. General awareness among dairy farmers about hygiene, proper milking procedure is need of hour. Proper clinical investigation of cases and appropriate antibiotic and non antibiotic based polyherbal medication will definitely help in alleviating antimicrobial resistance menace.
