The maximum new intramammary infections are acquired during the dry period. Therefore dry cow therapy is cornerstone for mastitis control in bovines. Dry cow therapy is use of intra-mammary antimicrobial therapy immediately after the last milking of lactation. It is implementation of the five-point plan for the mastitis control. It mainly aims on removing the prevailing intra-mammary infections and inhibiting new intramammary infections during the dry period. Recently, there is growing concern of indiscriminate use of antibiotics. Therefore, the non antibiotic therapy, teat seals is gaining popularity and there is need of development for other new approaches for control of mastitis. This review focus on new bacterial infections during dry period and the various approaches involving control of mastitis. Key words: Mastitis; Dry cow therapy; Intramammary; Teat seals INTRODUCTION Mastitis is the inflammation of the parenchyma of mammary glands, which is a multifactorial disease and is characterised by physical, chemical and usually bacteriological changes in milk along with pathological changes in glandular tissue of the udder 1. Mastitis is a disease of global importance and it adversely affects the animal health, milk quality and causes huge economic losses to dairy sector. The economic losses are in terms of reduction in milk yield, discarding of milk, treatment cost and premature culling of animals 2. Approximately 140 microbial species, subspecies and serovars have been isolated from bovine mammary gland. Among microbial species various types of bacteria, viruses, fungi and algae have been identified as mastitis causing pathogens. Among bacteria contagious pathogens (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Mycoplasma bovis, Corynebacterium bovis); teat skin opportunistic pathogens (coagulase negative staphylococci) and environmental pathogens (Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, E. coli, Klebsiella spp.) have been found to be frequently associated with the cases of mastitis 1. Various approaches have been implicated to combat the infectious pathogens causing the mastitis.

2 The lactation therapy and dry cow therapy are new infections during the first phase and the the major ways to treat the cases of mastitis. third phase 5,6,7. There are a number of factors However in lactation therapy the use of which contribute to increased susceptibility of antibiotics is criticized due to the concern of udder to new infection during the first and last antibiotic residues in milk. Moreover, the phase of dry period. As there is termination of chances of getting new intramammary milking (milking has flushing effect on infections (IMI s) are very high during the dry bacteria) and milking practices (such as period. Therefore during dry period the forestripping and predipping) which prevent institution of therapy for control of mastitis is new bacterial infections during the lactation very advantageous 3. With the advent of period so there is increased exposure and antibiotics in the 1940 s, the quickly and easily growth of bacteria on teat skin and in the eradication of the mastitis was expected.

Dry period is and widely used method for control of divided in three phases: First phase period of mastitis. It has two aims.

In addition, the economic effective yet, it suffers some disadvantages losses due to discarding of milk are alleviated. like appearance of antibiotic residues in milk. In various experimental studies, it is reported As a consequence of it, milk is withheld for a that therapy dry period is the best and effective period of time after calving, which results in way of controlling intramammary infection economic losses. The antibiotics used in dry due to Streptococcus agalactiae and up to cow therapy should be such that, it is readily some extend in Staphylococcus aureus 14,15,16. milked out after calving 21. Because of the APPROACH TO DCT intracellular location of Staph. aureus, Before start of DCT cessation of lactation in elimination of it is less successful 22. Along animals is necessary. The standard method for with it there is growing concern of cessation of lactation (drying-off) for industry indiscriminate use of antibiotics, which may is abrupt cessation of milking, through which contribute to the increase in the antibiotic milking is stopped on the day scheduled for resistant microorganisms 23. It is important that dry-off (all cows are usually scheduled to be the instructions mentioned on the label should dry off on the same day each week) and this be followed carefully for the recommended helps in facilitation for administration of dry dosage level, required withdrawal period, cow intramammary preparations. Abrupt storage guidelines and expiry dates. drying-off leads to higher new IMI rate in the TEAT SEALS dry period as compared to intermittent dryingoff, The major defence mechanism in the teat canal although the increase in prevalence is most is the formation of keratin plug.

As the cow is concern on indiscriminate use of antibiotics susceptible for the new IMI s in initial weeks and there is growing interest on application of of dry period by environmental pathogens and organic farming. Therefore, sealing the teat in last weeks by environmental and coliforms canals of uninfected quarters at the end of pathogens.
