The therapeutic effect of honeybee venom collected using be venom collector on bovine mastitis was investigated. Mastitic cows from four farms were selected in the Yang-pyeong areas. Chronic mastitic cows were injected with the various concentrations of honey-bee venom per day. There was a significant difference in the reduction rates of somatic cell counts (SCC) according to treatment concentration and method of bee venom. The milk SCC were significantly decreased in all concentrations of bee venom 3 days after treatment. The reduction rates of SCC in treatment of 3, 6, 12 and 24mg honeybee venom were 20, 43, 63.3 and 65.8% respectively. Honeybee venom treatment consisted of two methods, a syringeful and a Bovivet Spenstift. The treatment with Bovivet Spenstift was more effective in the reduction rates of SCC compared with the syringeful. Thirty two out of 53 quarters were cured by Bovivet Spenstift with 12mg bee venom per day for 14 days. The venom cure rates of bovine mastitis by Escherichia coli, Stapylococcus aureus, Gram positive bacteria and Gram negative bacteria were 33.3, 75, 75 and 43.8% respectively. These results suggested that bee venom treatment (by Bovivet Spenstift with 12mg) might be effective for treatment of bovine mastitis.
