The use of homeopathic remedies in the treatment of cows with mastitis

Abstract

Two experiments on the use of homeopathic remedies for the treatment of cows with serous and catarrhal mastitis were carried out on two farms in the Moscow region, Russia. Mastitis was caused mainly by improper milking machine function because most of the equipment used in the observation period was worn-out. During the summer, cows were fetched to pasture, which increased the incidence of traumatic mastitis. On both farms, homeopathic remedies were used that are marketed by the German company Biologische Heilmittel Heel GmbH.
