The influence of phytobiotic based on essential oils of Salvia sclarea, Mentha canadensis, Mentha piperita and Coriandrum sativum on pathogenic microorganisms of lactating cow udder

Abstract

The antibacterial activity of a phytobiotic based on the essential oil complex Salvia sclarea, Mentha canadensis, Mentha piperita and Coriandrum sativum for external use in inflammatory processes of the cow udder was studied. The microflora composition and microbial associations of pathogens were studied before and after the treatment of the nipples with the preparation. It was found that after the phytobiotic application, the frequency of detection on the mucous membranes of Str. uberis, P. aeruginosa, C. albicans, S. aureus, E. coli, Salmonella spp decreased. The number of associations of pathogenic strains decreased, and the severity of the inflammatory process decreased.
