Cleansing agents for nursing cows' udders

Abstract

Prevention of intramammary infections, maintaining cow production, and enhancing milk quality all need
implementation of the "Milking Protocol" on the farm. Most dairy farms use udder hygiene products as a
preventative udder care treatment. Effectiveness data required for veterinary medication registration should guide
the selection of an antiseptic agent for udder health. The goal of the research was to review the existing literature
on the topic of udder care products for breastfeeding cows. In order to write this paper, we familiarized ourselves
with the findings of recent scientific studies, analyzed and theoretically justified them, and compiled the data we
gathered on the topic of sanitizing the udders of milking cows utilizing hygiene practices. Science-Direct and
PubMed were utilized for this purpose together with money from the Polissia National University scientific
library. Therefore, it follows that maintaining sanitary conditions in the mammary gland is essential for healthy
breasts. Iodine, chlorhexidine, and organic acids are listed as ingredients in Ukrainian prescription medications.
The cosmetic surfactants included in hygienic products work to soften the skin and create a hydrating hydrophilic
layer to keep it that way. The danger of chemical components entering the milk is increased when employing
udder hygiene means since these products are often of chemical origin. Probiotic-based solutions, on the other
hand, are better for the environment and are completely safe for animals. Medicinal plants are used as raw
materials to prepare infusions, decoctions, water extracts, alcohol- and oil-based solutions, which are then offered
to the specialists of the dairy industry for the disinfection of cow udders in times of war and economic difficulties.
The anti-mastitis program includes dipping as one of its preventative strategies. When deciding how to disinfect
udders after milking, it's important to think about how infections are spreading throughout the herd and how the
environment will affect the final product. In this respect, I think that studying the impact of nanotechnology on
the health of the udder of milking cows and using probiotics as a dip as an alternative to substances of chemical
origin is a promising avenue of scientific research.
