AVANÇOS TECNOLÓGICOS NO DIAGNÓSTICO PRECOCE E TRATAMENTO DA MASTITE BOVINA – REVISÃO DE LITERATURA.

Abstract

Bovine mastitis constitutes one of the main diseases that compromise the efficiency of dairy farming, significantly impacting productivity, operational costs, and the quality of milk intended for consumption and industrial processing, characterized as an inflammatory process of the mammary gland caused by various types of aggression that may be physical, metabolic, allergic, physiological, or infectious pathogens, mastitis may occur in clinical or subclinical forms, requiring sensitive diagnostic methods for its early detection. This study, based on a literature review, presents the pathological and economic aspects of the disease, discusses traditional diagnostic techniques, and highlights the advancement of emerging technologies aimed at early identification and treatment such as infrared thermography, acoustic pulse therapy, and ozonetherapy, these tools have shown relevance in reducing antimicrobial use, improving animal welfare, and promoting more sustainable production systems. The studies analyzed demonstrate that the combination of continuous monitoring, proper management, and the application of technological methods contributes significantly to reducing the prevalence of mastitis and optimizing milk quality, thus the review reinforces the importance of integrated strategies that support prevention, control, and the efficiency of dairy production systems.
