Abstract

The indigenous medicinal practice has been clinically evaluated by examining subclinical mastitis (SCM) in farm field. About 45 quarters were examined and 12 quarters (26.66%) were confirmed for SCM with California Mastitis Test. The herbal preparation was given to affected animals and improvements were recorded. The scored data were statistically analysed using paired‘t’ test. The calculated value of t0.05 for 11 d.f was 2.61which was more than the table value (t0.05, 11=2.20) referring significant efficacy of medication against SCM.
