Abstract
Abstract A method of treating bovine mastitis by injecting through the teat orifice of an infected quarter a solution of erythromycin in a fatty acid triglyceride having an iodine value of less than 42. This method, by virtue of the unique solution offers not only effective mastitis control, but also the distinct advantage of a shorter period of detactable drug residue in the milk than heretofore obtainable. Milk taken after the third milking following the last treatment is free from detectable erythromycin residue.
