“…In general, the health status of the animals could be reflected by blood parameters. The supplementation of probiotic may have the capacity to act on the blood parameters of animal (Choonkham et al, 2021). In this study, probiotic supplementation showed the increament of Hb concentration and RBC count, similar results were obtained by Kabir et al (2022) and Ghazanfar et al (2015) in fattening cattle and dairy heifers fed probioticsupplemented diet, respectively.…”

“…In addition, some researchers have observed improved body condition of dairy cows that have received Bacillus spp. as a single or multispecies probiotic (Choonkham et al, 2021;Merati and Tawhidi, 2022). Dietary probiotic supplement may help improve animal health status by improving nutrient digestion and absorption through the gastrointestinal tract (Mahesh et al, 2021).…”

Subclinical mastitis is almost asymptomatic in nature, with no visible signs detected on the udder and most prevalent disease in dairy cows incuring a huge economic loss in the dairy industry. The treatment and prevention of this disease employing antibiotics are not always effective and have adverse effects in public health. The present study aims to measure the effectiveness of application of a probiotic (Bacillus coagulans MTCC 25250) feed additive in subclinical mastitis cows on improvement of body condition, blood parameters, milk yields and milk composition apart from mitigation of the disease. A total of 20 subclinical mastitis cows were randomly assigned into four groups with various probiotic doses comprising T1 (15 g/d/cow), T2 (30 g/d/cow), T3 (45 g/d/cow) and control (without probiotic) in a trial of 60 days. All four groups received a total mixed diet. Cows' body conditions and their bloods, milk yields and composition were investigated on the day of 0, 30 and 60. The results demonstrated that body conditions score, milk production, and compositions were improved in the T2 and T3 groups. Additionally, T2 and T3 groups showed a lower somatic cell and total bacterial counts in milk. The blood analyses showed that red blood cell, hemoglobin, lymphocyte, and monocyte counts were significantly higher for T1, T2 and T3 groups, however, white blood cell and neutrophil counts were decreased. The data suggest that application of a probiotic Bacillus coagulans MTCC 25250 as a feed supplement might be beneficial in milk yields and composition in subclinical mastitis cows. This potential probiotic strain would be useful for the mitigation of subclinical mastitis and improves the productivity of dairy cows.
