Just like humans, dairy cows are also prone to a number of infectious diseases and health conditions. Timely diagnosis of diseases and effective treatment strategy is very much important for the well-being animals and significant growth of dairy business. Overall profitability of the dairy business highly depends upon how you keep cows healthy and free from diseases.

ANTIBIOTICS ARE PRODUCED BY MICROBES AND USED AGAINST MICROBES

Antibiotics are low molecular compounds/medicines which are produced by living organisms and are used to treat and prevent the diseases caused by microorganisms (exclusively bacteria). Antibiotics either kill or stop the growth of bacteria.

Here we will discuss how antibiotics should be rationally used in dairy cows along with a lot of risks associated with the misuse of antibiotics under the light of scientific literature.

WHY WE USE ANTIBIOTICS IN DAIRY COWS?
Antibiotics have been used in humans and animals since long ago. Their use has significantly improved the overall growth, performance, productivity and reduced the chances of diseases and health related events in food animals. In return, their use in animals has bestowed us with good quality, safe, and low cost nutritious animal products such as milk and meat.

Dairy cows experience a number of infectious diseases where antibiotics literally play an important role to prevent the dairy cows from developing further complications. For instance, mastitis (inflammation of udder) and other reproductive and system infectious diseases require antibiotic therapy.

But dairy farmers must take veterinary consultancy as a veterinarian can do the proper diagnosis and recognize the exact root cause of infection. Furthermore, he can suggest the exact dose and help you in selecting the better antibiotic to deal with that particular medical condition.

NOTE: Dairy cows at any stage can become infected with any bacterial infection such as conjunctivitis, any kind of wound, skin infections and many more. So, they require antibiotic treatment to get back to their normal life.
