Abstract :

Mastitis is termed as the inflammation of the udder and is most common in dairy animals nowadays. Many pathogens are involved in causing mastitis but Staphylococcus aureus is the most common pathogen which is also the main etiological agent of many respiratory and skin infections in humans. The most commonly used treatment of mastitis is the use of antimicrobials against infectious microbes which is the main reason for antimicrobial residues (AMR) because pathogens may have developed resistance against them. Depending upon the recent literature, this conclusion can be withdrawn that use of essential oils is free of public health risks and may prove good alternative to antimicrobials in the control of bovine mastitis.
