Bovine mastitis contributed significantly towards antimicrobial resistance. A farmers’ participatory field trial was conducted in 100 cows of 12 dairy farms clustered in a locality of Bhubaneswar smart city, Odisha to study the preventive effect of turmeric. Cross-bred Jersey cows with 8 to 10 L milk yield per day, between 2nd to 5th lactation and one 1-2 months old calves at foot without any signs of disease/ disorder including mastitis were the criteria of selection. History, clinical examination, modified California mastitis test, microbiological examination and molecular tests were employed to ascertain type of mammary infection. Cows with teat dip in 5.0 % turmeric aqueous solution for five minutes after each milking upto 90 days suffered from mastitis to a tune of 8.1 % as against 50.0% in untreated cows. Results unfolded a simplest way of preventing mastitis in cows.
