Abstract

The main objective of this research project is based on the evaluation "in vitro" of the inhibition effect of strains of probiotic microorganism species, especially Lactobacillus, on growth of pathogenic species involved in mastitis infection in cow. The results will support the development of probiotic preparation for intra udder application in cows stricken with sub clinic infection. (AU)
