DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a breast ozone injecting apparatus for treating bovine mastitis. An object of the present invention is to provide a device capable of easily, reliably and safely treating mastitis, which is a serious threat of dairy farming.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, antibiotics are commonly administered to treat mastitis in cattle. That is, by injecting antibiotics into the udder for several days to over a week and then injecting antibiotics into muscle, vein, or artery as needed, pathogenic bacteria in the breast, cistern, and nipple This is a method that attempts to cure mastitis only by suppressing the proliferation of mastitis.

[0003]

However, the cure with an antibiotic is not always high in cure rate and therapeutic effect, and has the following drawbacks. 1) The drug cost is high. 2) A long treatment period is required. 3) Expert knowledge and diagnostic techniques are required for drug selection, and advanced techniques are required depending on the route of drug administration. 4) Antibiotics have only an activity of suppressing the growth of bacteria, and additional expensive drugs are required to supplement the natural healing power of cattle.
5) Since the amount of antibiotic to be injected is very small, it is difficult to reach the deep part of the breast, and there is tissue damage due to stimulation.
6) Not involved in the treatment of toxins and free radicals produced by inflammation of infectious organisms in inflamed tissues. 7)
With the regular use of antibiotics, resistant bacteria and fungal alternation develop.
8) Due to antibiotic residues in the product, the milk of the treated cow must be discarded until no residue is found, with a therapeutic loss. 9) Antibiotics are required indicators and can only be used under the direction of a veterinarian. 10) At the time of treatment, treatment must be performed while approaching the affected cow, and workers may be at risk due to sudden cattle disturbance.

[0004] In view of the above-mentioned drawbacks of the conventional treatment methods, the present invention can treat bovine mastitis by completely different novel chemotherapy without resorting to drugs such as antibiotics. It is intended to provide a device.

[0005]

To achieve the above object, an ozone generator connected to an oxygen cylinder, a guide tube for guiding ozone generated from the ozone generator, and a tip of the guide tube are provided. An ozone injection tube attached thereto, wherein the injection tube is inserted into a teat orifice of a cow's udder to inject ozone into the udder in order to treat bovine mastitis. It is.

[0006]

By taking the above solution, the apparatus for treating mastitis in cattle according to the present invention has a therapeutic effect equal to or better than that of a conventional treatment method using an antibiotic. However, since the source of ozone generation is oxygen, the cost of treatment is extremely low. In addition, since all pathogenic microorganisms are killed by strong oxidizing action, there is no need for expensive and laborious diagnostic techniques as in the past.

[0007] By injecting pressurized ozone into the breast, the extremely narrow and narrow ducts in the deep part of the breast are markedly expanded, and inflammatory products stagnating in the deep part of the breast and infected milk stored in the cistern are reduced. Promotes excretion outside the body. At the same time, by supplying oxygen to the inflamed tissue, it enhances the natural healing power inherent in it, and instantly removes toxins produced in the infected breast and free radicals harmful to the living body caused by the inflammatory reaction. It acts and renders harmless and allows for early recovery of inflammation, thereby significantly shortening the treatment period.

[0008] Furthermore, since the mechanism of action is completely different from that of antibiotics, there is no occurrence of resistant bacterium and fungal alternation. In addition, since there is no residue in products like antibiotics, the safety as food is ensured, and there is no disposal of products generated for treatment as in the past, and the economics related to treatment in the dairy industry have been eliminated. The objective loss is completely eliminated.

[0009] Ozone kills any type of infectious pathogenic microorganisms, and also replenishes oxygen to damaged inflamed tissue while oxidatively detoxifying the toxins produced by the pathogenic microorganisms. This will enhance the ability of the animal's naturally occurring tissues to defend and repair infection,
Expresses a remarkable therapeutic effect. Due to such a difference in the mode of action, the conventional antibiotic treatment method requires a long treatment period, whereas the treatment method for bovine mastitis of the present invention significantly reduces the treatment period.

[0010] For this reason, bacteriological tests for identification of pathogenic microorganisms and selection of effective antibiotics, which have been conventionally required, can be omitted, so that the cost of diagnosis is kept low and special diagnostic techniques are not required. Further, since the raw material for generating ozone is oxygen, there is no need to prepare expensive drugs for treatment as in the prior art, and the cost for treatment is greatly reduced.

Further, the apparatus for treating mastitis in cattle according to the present invention reduces the dairy industry from the curse of the disposal of products due to drug residues in milk and meat, which has been caused by the use of antibiotics. release. In other words, ozone is a very unstable substance, and self-decomposes within a short period of time to return to oxygen even if left alone, and becomes extremely stable as soon as a strong oxidizing action is developed inside the breast. Ozone does not remain in the product. Thus, it is completely free from the economic losses of the dairy industry that have been hitherto suffered from the disposal of products due to drug residues.

Heretofore, pathogenic bacteria have acquired resistance to antibiotics when antibiotics have been used for a long period of time or when antibiotics that are not susceptible to pathogenic bacteria have been selected. Ozone, on the other hand, works without choosing the type of pathogenic microorganism. In addition, ozone is not only effective by inhibiting the growth of pathogenic bacteria like antibiotics, but also by killing pathogenic microorganisms by strong oxidizing action,
It exerts its effect by supplementing oxygen to promote oxidative detoxification of harmful toxins produced by pathogenic microorganisms, and furthermore, the natural defense function of the living body and the function of recovering tissue damage, so-called natural healing power. Therefore, the treatment period is significantly shortened, and the pathogenic microorganisms do not have time to acquire resistance and no resistant bacteria appear.

[Embodiment] According to the breast ozone injecting apparatus for treating mastitis of cattle according to the present invention, ozone ejected from an ozone generator carried to a mooring place of a diseased cow is completely blocked from the outside. Then, it can be safely and easily guided to the breast and injected into the breast through the nipple opening.

FIG. 1 is a side view schematically showing an example for carrying out a method for treating mastitis in cattle using the apparatus of the present invention. When injecting ozone using the breast ozone injecting device (1), the ozone is injected as shown in FIG.

In the apparatus for treating mastitis in cattle according to the present invention, the pressure of the oxygen cylinder (2) carried is reduced by a pressure reducing valve (3) in order to reach a high concentration of ozone deep into the udder (19). The stopcock (4) is opened at a constant flow rate by supplying a constant pressure through the, and oxygen is supplied from the air intake (6) of the ozone generator (5).

The ozone generator (5) (HTU-2 type 200 mg / h, manufactured by Hokkaido Tech Co.) takes in air from the air inlet (6) as a raw material, and converts oxygen in the air into ozone by silent discharge. It is a device that converts and ejects it from the ozone outlet (7). Constant voltage 100
V, maximum ejection flow rate 5L / min, ozone generation rate 200m / h
g capacity. This device has a characteristic that the amount of ozone generated is doubled when oxygen is used as a raw material, and the amount of ozone generated is further doubled when the air supply flow rate of the raw material is reduced by half.

The ozone ejected from the ozone outlet (7) of the ozone generator (5) is completely shut off from the outside world by an induction tube (8) having a sufficient length, and the ozone is ejected from the tip of the nipple (20). Induction to nipple opening (9). An ozone injection pipe (10) is attached to the tip of the guide tube (8).

One end of the guide tube (8) is connected to the ozone outlet (7) of the ozone generator (5), and then the ozone injection tube (10) is inserted through the nipple opening (9). Then, by releasing the cock (4) attached to the oxygen cylinder (2) and operating the ozone generator (5) at the same time, the generated ozone can be easily and reliably transferred from the teat opening (9) into the breast (19). Can be guided and injected.

At this time, the guide tube (8) is held on the anterior skin droop (13) located in front of the hind limb knee by the holding clip (12) attached to the guide tube (8).
As a result, the ozone injection tube (10) and the guide tube (8) do not fall off without being held by the operator during treatment and can be separated from the cow, so that the worker can work even in the event of cattle disturbance. The safety of the person can be secured.

FIG. 2 shows an example of a guide tube (8) connected to the ozone injection tube (10) inserted from the nipple opening (9) as a partial plan view in a sagittal section. As a material of the ozone injection pipe (10), a metal (stainless steel or aluminum) or a plastic (vinyl chloride resin or fluororesin) that resists oxidation of ozone is used.

At the time of insertion, this ozone injecting tube (10) has an outer diameter of 2 mm and a length of 50 mm, and has a rounded and smooth tip at the end to ensure that the nipple opening (9) is inserted without damage. Have been. 10mm ~ 25 from tip
A large number of fine ozone jet holes (11) having a hole diameter of 0.3 mm are bored in a tube wall portion in a range of 0.25 mm.
Is a hollow tube having an inner diameter of 1.5 mm. The number of perforated ozone holes (11) is not particularly limited, but usually 20 to 30 is preferable.

FIG. 3 schematically shows the state of use inside the breast (19) when injecting ozone by the ozone injecting apparatus for breast (1). The ozone injection pipe (10) can efficiently aerate the infected milk (15) in the milk tank (14) with ozone. That is, since a large number of fine ozone ejection holes (11) are formed in the ozone injection pipe (10), the ejected ozone becomes fine bubbles to increase the sensitized surface area with the pathogenic microorganisms in the infected milk (15). In addition, the infected milk (15) stored in the milk tank (14) receives sufficient sensitization in a short time. In addition, the deep ducts (16) and the mammary glands (1)
Since 7) is sufficiently expanded by the pressure of the injected ozone, the ozone reaches the deepest mammary gland cells (18) while facilitating the discharge of inflammatory products and infected milk (15) in the breast (19).

Another Embodiment Next, another embodiment will be described. In the above-mentioned embodiment, the description has been given of the practice in acute mastitis. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be practiced in clinical mastitis, latent mastitis, dry milk and blind emulsification by exactly the same method.
The oxygen cylinder shown in FIG. 1 means that it is used in combination with an ozone generator, and may be housed in a single case as an ozone injecting device for breast when being carried and used. If a compressor that supplies sufficient pressure to the ozone generator is installed, the raw material can be obtained from the atmosphere (oxygen in the air). The ozone injected into the breast can be used not only as ozone gas but also as ozone water in which ozone is dissolved. Instead of the fine ozone ejection holes of the ozone injection pipe shown in FIG. 2, a hollow pipe may be filled with air stones to form fine bubbles of ozone. The application range of the treatment method using the device of the present invention is not limited to mastitis, and can be used for intraperitoneal infections, urinary tract infections, intrauterine infections, and blood-borne infections.

[Test Results] Hereinafter, the method and results of a clinical treatment test using the apparatus for treating bovine mastitis according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

For Holstein dairy cows that have developed acute mastitis, ozone generated from the nipple orifice of the mastitis-producing dairy out of the four dairy udders is sent using pressure-regulated oxygen as a raw material. Insufflated. The ozone discharged from the ozone generator was guided to the nipple opening using an induction tube having a sufficient length to completely shut off the ozone from the outside, and was injected from the nipple opening via an ozone injection tube. The amount of ozone to be injected is such that the intraductal pressure is sufficiently increased and the ducts in the deeper part of the breast are expanded, that is, the breast expands due to the injection, and the ozone reaches under the skin surrounding the mammary gland tissue and directly contacts the skin as emphysema Until it became known. The injection of ozone did not cause any pain in the cow, and the work was completed very safely. The breasts in which the injection was completed in this way were allowed to stand and sensitized with ozone until the next milking.

In this way, 9 mice with mastitis were treated with ozone, and as a control, 4 animals were treated with a conventional antibiotic, and the effect of each treatment was observed over time. Compared.

FIG. 4 shows the average number of treatments when treatment is performed by each method. The conventional treatment method using an antibiotic required 5.3 days of treatment on average, whereas the treatment method using ozone injection using the apparatus of the present invention completed treatment in 1.1 days on average. That is, in the cows injected with ozone, 8 out of 9 cows healed with only one treatment, and there was no need to discard the milk due to the residue. In cows treated with antibiotics, milk continued to be discarded during and after treatment due to additional drug residues.

FIG. 5 shows the course of treatment by each method. When clinical symptoms were scored and compared, the therapeutic effect of ozone infusion was much better than the therapeutic effect of conventional antibiotics. In other words, in the group treated with antibiotics, the symptoms tend to worsen again after 7 days from the end of treatment, whereas in the group treated with ozone, breast swelling and pain are remarkably alleviated. It was excellent in that the symptoms were smoothly improved by the treatment of the production toxins and free radicals that cause inflammation.

FIG. 6 shows the transition of the NAGase activity value in milk, which is an index of the degree of damage to the tissue of the breast, during the course of treatment in each treatment method. The NGase activity value of the milk of the breast treated with antibiotics as usual is significantly increased after treatment, and the course is obviously unstable, and marked tissue due to the tissue irritancy of the antibiotic used for treatment itself Confirmed that damage was occurring. On the other hand, in the breast treated with ozone, the change in the NGase activity value in the milk was very stable and changed slowly with a slight change, and there was almost no stimulation of the injected ozone itself to the breast tissue. Was evident.

That is, it was proved that when the treatment method by ozone injection was carried out by the apparatus of the present invention, the number of treatments could be remarkably reduced, and the treatment effect was equal to or higher than that of the conventional method. Furthermore, regarding the kindness of the breast to the tissue by the treatment, it was evident that ozone involved in oxidative detoxification of toxins, detoxification of free radicals and enhancement of natural healing power was extremely excellent.

As is clear from the results of the above clinical trial,
The method for treating mastitis in cattle using the device of the present invention has been proved to have sufficient and reliable clinical utility.

[0032]

As described above, according to the apparatus for treating bovine mastitis of the present invention, ozone can be injected very easily and safely from the teat opening. There is no need to use conventional expensive drugs, and a sufficient and reliable therapeutic effect can be obtained. Further, the treatment period can be remarkably shortened, and a costly and troublesome diagnosis technique can be omitted. The high cost and advanced technology required for treatment and diagnosis are not required.

The ozone injected by using the pressure of the oxygen cylinder reaches the mammary gland tissue deep in the treatment area and can reach the deep part of the breast. It also oxidizes and detoxifies the toxins produced by the infecting microorganisms, and the free radicals of the inflamed tissue react with ozone to easily render them harmless. In addition, it increases the natural healing power by supplementing the inflamed tissue with oxygen, but does not damage the breast tissue.

[0034] No resistant bacteria or fungal alternation occur,
It does not remain in the product and eliminates the losses caused by conventional treatment. Further, safety at the time of work is ensured, and anyone can use it at any time.

That is, all the drawbacks of the conventional treatment method have been successfully solved, and an excellent effect can be provided.
