Abstract
A vaccine was developed against bovine mastitis based on inactivated, highly encapsulated Staphylococcus aureus cells; a crude extract of Staph. aureus exopolysaccharides; and inactivated, unencapsulated Staph, aureus and Streptococcus spp. cells. This vaccine was tested on 30 heifers during a 7-mo period. The 30 heifers were randomly assigned to three groups of 10 heifers each. The prepartum group received two injections of the vaccine at 8 and 4 wk before calving, and the postpartum group received two injections at 1 and 5 wk after calving. The control group received two injections of a placebo at 8 and 4 wk before calving. The vaccine or the placebo was administered subcutaneously in the brachiocephalicus muscle of the neck. The frequencies of intramammary infections caused by Staph. aureus were reduced from 18.8% for heifers in the control group to 6.7 and 6.0% for heifers in the prepartum and postpartum groups, respectively. This protective effect was maintained for at least 6 mo. The relative risk of mastitis caused by Staph. aureus was 0.31 and 0.28 for heifers in the prepartum and postpartum groups, respectively, compared with that for heifers in the control group. The results of the trial indicated the effectiveness of...Continue Reading
