"Given that, I see no reason to resist the introduction os a cheap, effective way of controlling and, yes, treating, bovine mastitis. What's the risk? If it isn't effective, no one is burning the supplies of antibiotics.

Antibiotics will still be there for stubborn or resistant cases."

I thought that this is the essence of what I am saying. I can see no problems with the product or its regular use and am not resisting its introduction at all and in actual fact, on principle, would recommend its use if I could see it was doing what was being claimed.
But don't get prematurely excited that it will take over the mastitis problem - more work needs to be done to convince me.

Professionally I am a very big advocate of anti-oxidants and probably bore my clients about them and find it difficult to convince them to use them or the diets that contain them even though I can document good results; and I have thousands of food notes filed away in OneNote - research 4 instance - ginger excellent sourse of antioxidants - used in cow feeds which increases production by 20% ref Prof Cliff Hawkins

(short extract ? Ginger has a long history of medicinal use that dates back thousands of years. It contains gingerol, which gives ginger its flavour. Gingerol helps protect against cancer, particularly bowel cancer, as well as boosting immune function and helping to fight infection in our bodies)
Then look at tumeric, linseed, black rice, chilli, gogi berries, chia, pomgranite etc. etc. There are many antioxidants that enhance the immune response and are incorporated in many expensive supplements but are better taken as the basic ingredient. What percentage of the population use them regularly even though the evidence is there for positive effects!
