Summary. The article describes the problem of microbial
contamination of feed in animal husbandry and the microflora
that causes mastitis in lactating cows. The microbial contamination of
52 commercial batches of fodder from 5 farms
of 3 regions of Ukraine (barley, corn silage, oat haylage,
alfalfa hay, sunflower meal) has been determined. Pasteurella multocida in association with Neisseria lactamica,
Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia,
Clostridium perfringens was
isolated from 61.5% of barley, 66.7% of corn silage, 60.0% of alfalfa hay, and
50.0% of sunflower meal. 262 samples of milk from
cows with mastitis have been studied. Aspergillus candidus, Aspergillus niger
were most often isolated in association with Mycoplasma bovis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Candida albicans,
Neisseria sicca,
Clostridium perfringens.
High film-forming activity of microorganisms in feed was
determined, by optical density: Pasteurella multocida + Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia D620 = 3.76
and Pasteurella multocida, Actinobacillus pleuropneumonia,
Neisseria lactamica
D620 = 3.62. While from the milk of cows with
mastitis we isolated associations of microorganisms that were strong producers
of biofilms by the optical densities D620 = 4.02
and 4.23
Keywords: cows, mastitis, bacteria, fungi
