The results of the study of a probiotic sanitaryhygienic product developed on the basis of sporeforming bacteria of the genus Bacillus are presented. Production experiments on treating the udder of cows after milking were carried out at the livestock complex for commercial production of milk in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). For the research, two groups of clinically healthy dairy cows aged 3-4 years (52 animals each) were formed. To treat the nipples of cows’ udder of the experimental group, sanitary-hygienic product «Probiodez 3 + 5» was used developed on the basis of the equal combination of bacterial strain Bacillus. subtilis TNP-3 and B. subtilis TNP-5 with a content of 1.5 × 105 CFU/ cm3. Treatment of cows’ udder of the control group after milking was not performed. The effectiveness of sanitation was taken into account by the quantity of mesophyll aerobic and facultative anaerobic microorganisms (QMAFAM), staphylococci and Escherichia on the skin of the nipples of the udder. There was a decrease in the microbial contamination of the nipples of cows’udder with a daily two-time use of the remedy “Probiodes 3 + 5”. The QMAFAM index of the cows of the experimental group on the day 30 of the experiments was 6.8 × 103 COE / cm3 (a decrease by 57.3 times). In the control group of cows, QMAFAM increased by 2.6 times and amounted to 2.9 × 105 COE/ cm3 (42.6 times higher than the indicators in the experimental group). In the experimental group of cows, the number of staphylococci decreased by 4.4 times, Escherichia – by 25.8 times. The use of «Probiodes 3 + 5» helps to decrease the level of QMAFAM, reduce staphylococci and Escherichia, it has also no side effects and does not cause allergic reactions of the nipples skin of cows’ udder. The scientifi c novelty of the development is confi rmed by obtaining a patent of the Russian Federation «Method for the rehabilitation of the udder of cows using strains of bacteria Bacillus subtilis ».
