Abstract
The aim of the present work was to assess recurrence rates of the inflammation of the mammary gland in cattle
treated either with allopathic, homeopathic or combined medications. The effect of a combination of medications
was greater than effects of allopathic drugs alone. Farm A – only allopathic medication (control group) –
recurrence of inflammation in 3 months of application in 70.6 % of animals in the group, no recurrence in 29.4 %
animals in the group. Farm A – combined medication (experimental group) – recurrence of inflammation in 3
months of application in 42 % of animals in the group, no recurrence in 58 % of animals in the group. Farm B –
only allopathic drugs (control group) – recurrence of inflammation in 3 months of application in 75 % of animals in
the group, no recurrence in 25 % animals in the group. Farm B – combined medication (experimental group) –
recurrence of inflammation in 3 months of application in 31.3 % of animals in the group, no recurrence in 68.7 %
animals in the group.
