Enhanced Virgin Coconut Oil EVCO is an oil that has broad spectrum antimicrobial properties. It contains an effective amount of medium chain free fatty acids and their corresponding monoglycerides diglycerides and triglycerides. An in-vitro assessment of EVCO against bovine mastitis microorganisms isolated from local dairy farm was conducted to determine its minimum inhibitory concentration MIC‚‚; In general EVCO was shown to have antimicrobial properties against all microbes isolates from mastitis samples at the different concentration of MIC‚‚ value. In fact EVCO was found more effective against gram positive microbes and Mycoplasma sp. especially for Mycoplasma bovis Acholeplasma oculi Enterobacter sp. Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus with the lower MIC‚‚ value in comparison to synthetic antibiotic Mastivet. This finding indicated that EVCO has great potential application in postmilking teat germicide which can be used as a preventive measure to control mastitis case especially against environmental mastitis pathogens.

Abstract

Enhanced Virgin Coconut Oil EVCO is an oil that has broad spectrum antimicrobial properties. It contains an effective amount of medium chain free fatty acids and their corresponding monoglycerides diglycerides and triglycerides. An in-vitro assessment of EVCO against bovine mastitis microorganisms isolated from local dairy farm was conducted to determine its minimum inhibitory concentration MIC‚‚; In general EVCO was shown to have antimicrobial properties against all microbes isolates from mastitis samples at the different concentration of MIC‚‚ value. In fact EVCO was found more effective against gram positive microbes and Mycoplasma sp. especially for Mycoplasma bovis Acholeplasma oculi Enterobacter sp. Streptococcus sp. and Staphylococcus aureus with the lower MIC‚‚ value in comparison to synthetic antibiotic Mastivet. This finding indicated that EVCO has great potential application in postmilking teat germicide which can be used as a preventive measure to control mastitis case especially against environmental mastitis pathogens.
