COMPOSIÇÃO DO LEITE DE CABRAS SAANEN INFECTADAS EXPERIMENTALMENTE COM Staphylococcus aureus E SUBMETIDAS A DOIS PROTOCOLOS DE TRATAMENTO MILK COMPOSITION OF SAANEN GOATS EXPERIMENTALLY INFECTED BY Staphylococcus aureus AND SUBJECTED TO TWO TREATMENT PROTOCOLS

This study aimed to evaluate the chemical composition of milk after infection and treatment of mastitis caused by Staphylococcus aureus. Ten Saanen goats were used. Experimental infection was performed in 20 mammary glands, forming four groups, each consisting of five mammary glands. One group was treated with commercial antimicrobial and another with natural plant extract-based ointment. The other groups were constituted as control. The values obtained for fat, lactose, protein, total solids, and milk production were analyzed through the experimental moments, comparing them among each other and between experimental groups. Mastitis was diagnosed by milk microbiology
