New Antimicrobial Compounds Offer Safer Solution for Bovine Mastitis
Safer Solutions for a Global Dairy Challenge Bovine mastitis remains a persistent threat to dairy cattle worldwide, causing significant milk losses and escalating costs for farmers. Estimates place global annual losses from udder infections at around US$22 billion (S$28 billion). Traditional antibiotics, while effective to some extent, bring concerns about antibiotic resistance and milk contamination.…
