Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
In dairy cows, around 70% of the antibiotic doses used treat mastitis. Despite extensive research, many questions regarding optimised antibiotic therapy remain unanswered. They concern fundamental aspects such as selecting cases to be treated with antibiotics and their identification under practical conditions, as well as questions about active substances, treatment durations, dose regimes and resistance. This Special Issue will compile new knowledge to help implement targeted and efficient therapy in practice, taking into account aspects of husbandry, the animals to be treated, and the microorganisms, as well as pharmacological aspects of therapy. We welcome contributions that will further develop antibiotic mastitis therapy.
