The article presents data on the study of the therapeutic efficacy of methods for treating cows with acute catarrhal mastitis. The research was carried out on the basis of 2 cattle farms SPK (collective farm) "Kolos" Myasnikovsky district of Rostov region and individual entrepreneur Head of the peasant (farm) farm AA Berekchiyan Myasnikovsky district of the Rostov region, as well as on the basis of the North Caucasian zonal research veterinary institute - a branch of the Federal State Budgetary Institution "Federal Rostov Agrarian Scientific Center". To study the therapeutic efficacy of the treatment regimen for acute catarrhal mastitis, 2 groups of animals (experimental and control) were also formed according to the principle of analogous pairs, 15 animals each. Control cows were injected with the antibacterial drug amoxicillin LA 15% twice with an interval of 48 hours at the rate of 1 ml of the drug per 10 kg of animal body weight. The drug was administered fractionally, divided into 2 injections. The animals of the experimental group were also injected with the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin LA 15% twice with an interval of 48 hours at the rate of 1 ml of the drug per 10 kg of the animal's body weight. The treatment regimen was supplemented by exposing the animal's body to pulsed low-intensity infrared laser radiation with simultaneous exposure to pulsed incoherent infrared and red radiation and a constant magnetic field in the infiltrate area once a day at the rate of 5 minutes per 10 cm2 of the affected area for 5-7 days. In the course of our research, it was found that therapy for catarrhal mastitis using pulsed low-intensity infrared laser radiation with simultaneous exposure to pulsed incoherent infrared and red radiation and a constant magnetic field in the infiltrate area once a day, as well as the semisynthetic antibiotic amoxicillin LA 15% twice with at intervals of 48 hours showed a high degree of effectiveness. This is confirmed by the rapid recovery of the clinical picture, physiological parameters, and morphological data of the blood of experimental animals. The therapeutic efficiency of the proposed method of treatment was 100%, recovery occurred on average in 3.9 ± 0.15 days. The signs of the inflammatory process disappeared gradually, however, by the 3rd day of treatment, the secretion of milk was completely restored and a significant improvement in the condition of the animals was noted.
