Therapeutic efficacy of hydro-methanolic extract of M. oleifera was evaluated in lactating cows with Staphylococcusaureus clinicalmastitis.Mastiticcows,screened and selected on the basis of CMT,SCC and cultural examination, were divided in two groups of five animals each.Intra-mammary infusion of Hydro-methanolic extract of M.oleifera @1 g / 10 ml of PBS intramammary once daily for 7 days resulted in reduction of 90.9%,93.04 % and 83.98% inCMT, SCC and TBC on day 14 of treatment which was comparable with that of group I with ceftriaxone.
