Abstract
In milk production India occupies first position in the world. Tamil Nadu occupies
Tenth rank in our country. Milk contains all essential micro and macro nutrients
compared to other foods. Milk is very good medium for the growth of
microorganisms. Teat canal remains open for 5 to 10 minutes after milking. In this
situation the microorganisms can easily invade the udder and cause mastitis.
Mastitis will affect the quality of milk and production capacity of the cow not only
in current lactation and also affects subsequent lactation. In the field condition
Tamil Nadu dairy farmers are regularly using the potassium permanganate teat dip
solution for cleaning the udder and teat before and after milking. Even though the
occurrence of mastitis was persist. In this situation we conduct the study to test the
efficacy of potassium permanganate as antiseptic agent for controlling the bovine
mastitis in Salem district of Tamil Nadu during the year of 2015.
