Treating mastitis in dairy cows with light therapy

Mastitis in cows is the most economically significant disease in the dairy industry. Mastitis is the inflammation of udder and milk parenchyma and causes hardening of the udder, decreased milk production, and changes in the milk both physically and in terms of an increase in the somatic cell count in milk.

Apart from the obvious humanitarian aspect of eliminating the suffering in afflicted cows, mastitis needs to be rapidly addressed as it creates a negative impact on dairy farms in multiple ways: loss of milk production, deterioration of the milk quality, increased treatment cost, the blindness of milk teats, premature culling of productive dairy cattle, and reduced reproductive performance the dairy farm.
