This study investigated the effect of intramammary ozonated distilled water on treatment success rates for mastitis caused by Candida spp., which resulted from intensive antibiotic use. The study material involved 60 Holstein udder quarters infected with Candida spp., which were divided into an ozone treatment group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). To conduct the study, 25 μg/ml of ozonated distilled water was applied intramammary to each udder quarter from which the causative agent had been isolated. Milk samples were collected on days 6 and 18 after application, and microbiological and mycological analyses were performed on them. The analysis results showed no statistically significant difference in recovery rates between days 0-6 after treatment, but a significant difference emerged between days 6-18 (P<0.05). A significant statistical difference also existed in the overall recovery rates between the ozone and control groups (P<0.05). Consequently, the conclusion drawn was that utilizing ozonated distilled water may prove effective for treating mastitis caused by Candida spp. and may increase recovery rates.
