1 BETTER BUT NOT CURED
[BETTER BUT NOT CURED] 04/24/2009: David from Gloucester, UK writes: "I've been feeding ACV to my cows on & off for about 5 years now. I have added to the total mix ration (in a mixer wagon) at the rate of 60ml per head per day but have now reverted to pouring it in the water troughs daily or every other day. We think it is doing some good but still get recurring cases of mastitis in some cows and the odd new case occasionally. I haven't had the courage to stop using antibiotics but have cut back on the amount we used to use. New cases are drenched 100 mls mixed with water 2 x a day - seems to help. Not sure if it is the ACV or the seaweed but their feet are much harder now - so are my toenails since I started taking it!!"

[YEA] 12/21/2008: Gerry from Cebu, PI writes: "I knew a farmer who never used expensive and dangerous penicillin when his cows got mastitis ,as he had orchards near him he gave his cows CV daily as a prevention and it worked well. I used to use Cv allot but now I am going to put some on my tongue and curl it then draw in a deep breath to nebulise it"

EC: CV = Cider Vinegar
03/05/2009: Dawn from Grygla, MN replies: "Just how do you get your cows to drink CV (cider vinegar)????? Or do you treat their udders with it ??I'd be interested in how you do this."
[YEA] 06/27/2009: Caroline from King Country, New Zealand replies: "We come fron a large 900 cow dairy farm and we add the Apple cider vinegar into our dosatron which is then put into the troughs on the farm. We use about 10mls per cow.We have also found that we have less retainted membranes with calving cows since this has been introduced into our farming proceedures, before calving. You will notice their coats tend to be glossier."

09/19/2008: Sheila from Flint, Texas writes: "I have read the posts on giving ACV for goats with mastitis. What is it (ACV) and where do I get it?
Thanks."
EC: ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar. Sorry for the confusion - we will re-label the title so it is more clear!
03/06/2009: Amanda Knopes from Fruitland, Idaho replies: "We have a small manufacturing company in Idaho called Golden Valley Vinegar where we have been making conventional and organic apple cider vinegar for 10 years. We are not a retail store but do sell in 55 gallon barrels and 275 gallon totes. Please check out our website at goldenvalleyvinegar.com for questions. We do ship all over the US."

[YEA] 03/08/2007: Chris from Symsonia, Kentucky writes: "I am feeding my Cows, Calfs, & Goats ACV. I can really see the difference. I have a calf that doesn't have a mother. We have been bottle feeding it. I have been adding 2 Teaspoons of ACV at each feeding -- the difference between him and my other calf is amazing. I have heard about all kinds of stuff it is good for in cows but buying it in the 32oz bottles from the Health Food Store is getting expensive. Does anyone know where i can buy it larger and cheaper thanks."
05/14/2008: Belinda from Rnid, Okahoma replies: "I need some advise as to how much ACV to add to the feed of my Nubian goats wth Mastitis. We have nursing kids right now and are strugglng with two does with Mastitis. I need some help quick. Thanks for your quick reply. Belinda"

[YEA] 03/05/2007: Peter from 100 Mile, Canada writes: "We always had a hobby farm and quite often the milk cows would get mastitis. The vet would come and give her penicillin and after a few days it would clear up. The milk had to be thrown out in the mean time. We tried ACV -- it was an instant cure! Only 1 tbls in the morning with feed. This cure turned out to be just as effective in humans, I feel like a doctor!"

1 YEA
[YEA] 10/06/2009: Michel from West Palm Beach, Florida writes: "Another effective method to treat acute Mastitus is using Electrolyzed Water as replacement of antibiotics. I have been using Electrolyzed Water with approximately 200ppm HOCL and pH 6.5 instead of antibiotics. Results are very fast and the milk can be used immediately.
1) Treat cows with Electrolyzed Water AEW
2) Application with injector (syringe) at (not in) the opening of the tit.
3) Quantity: 100 to 150 ml (3 to 5oz).
4) Treat until animals daily after milking for 2-3days.
Warning: Do not exceed this dose.
Important notice:
a) Electrolyzed Water is injected by putting the injector (syringe) at the tit (not in) so there will be no damage inside. In this way, the treatment is more pleasant for cows.
Move Electrolyzed Water just like antibiotics higher in the udder by stretching.
b) When a farmer starts with Electrolyzed Water, the chronic and latent mastitis cases can be directly treated. Dead or infectious tissue of the latent infected quarter will be eliminated; this will come out of the udder. The udder becomes gentler and reoccurring incidents of mastitis are less frequent and greatly reduced. Therefore, treat cows at a moment when they do not show mastitis yet, but already show a high cell count or when one or more quarters are not feeling smooth.
c) In 90% of the cases antibiotics (by means of the injector) used for curing the udder can be replaced by Electrolyzed Water. This does not apply for antibiotics that are applied in the neck of the cow. The vet or farmer must determine to what extent antibiotics in the neck are currently significant.
d) When ELectrolyzed Water replaces antibiotics for mastitis treatment, milk can be immediately delivered to the milk factory.
