Introduction: Bovine subclinical mastitis (SCM) caused by Gram-positive bacteria is a major cause of economic loss in the dairy industry, exacerbated in situations where antimicrobial resistance is present. Pure platelet-rich plasma (P-PRP) may be a therapeutic alternative for SCM, when used alone or with antibiotics, such as sodium cloxacillin (SC). This study aimed 1) to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of allogeneic P-PRP, SC, and their combination (P-PRP+SC) in cows with SCM caused by and by streptococci ( and ); 2) to determine the concentrations of somatic cells (SCC), interleukin 1 beta (IL-1β), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and TGF-β in milk samples of the cows.
