Ajwain-Hot Water Remedy: A Panacea for Mastitis in Cows and Buffaloes

• Ranchi farmer Vinod shares effective indigenous remedies for deadly mastitis in cattle, managing 50-60 cows and buffaloes.
• Mastitis causes significant drops in milk quality and production; early symptoms include swollen, hard, or red udder.
• A traditional remedy involves applying a warm compress of ajwain (carom seeds) boiled in water to the udder 4-5 times daily.
• Prevent infection by keeping animals standing for at least half an hour after milking to allow teat orifices to close.
• Regularly wipe the udder with Betadine or antibiotic solution every 3-4 days to prevent bacterial attacks.

Why It Matters: An ajwain-hot water compress and post-milking care can effectively prevent and treat mastitis in cattle.
