[Guidelines for prevention and therapy in ecological animal farms as in the example of bovine mastitis].
In ecological farming mastitis is the dominating disease in dairy cattle. The regular prophylactic use of antibiotics in farm animals is forbidden, in therapy antibiosis is restricted. A solution of this problem could be a program of systematic homeopathic prophylaxis as well as a standardised homeopathic treatment. The example of chronic catarrhal staph.-aureus-mastitis shows that there is only a certain expectancy of success by homeopathy as well as by any other medication, if the medication is combined with necessary sanitation measures. The prognosis for a homeopathic treatment is less favourable if the sanitation measures are realised incompletely. The possible negative effects of a false homeopathic medication are described.
