A new product for animal health from a MAKÜ scientist; 'Memoderm' is coming

Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University (MAKÜ) Faculty of Veterinary Medicine faculty member Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kale offers a natural solution to udder edema, which is common in dairy cows, with the herbal mixture he developed. The product, planned to be commercialized under the name 'MAKÜ Memoderm', aims to make significant contributions to animal health and milk yield.

Specializing in the field of livestock, Burdur Mehmet Akif Ersoy University has added a new one to its studies on animal diseases and treatment methods. The new project, led by Faculty of Veterinary Medicine faculty member Prof. Dr. Mehmet Kale, developed a natural treatment method for udder edema (commonly known as "udder hardness" among the public), a disease frequently seen in cattle and cows during the pre and post-birth period.

The herbal mixture formulated by Prof. Dr. Kale provides effective results in both eliminating edema and maintaining milk yield. The product is in the trial phase to be offered for use by veterinarians and breeders under the brand 'MAKÜ Memoderm'.

Prof. Dr. Kale stated that udder edema is a significant problem in dairy farming and said:

"Udder edema is a problem that usually occurs in the pre or post-birth period, especially in high-yielding cows. Currently, different treatment methods are applied, but there is no standard methodology. We have developed a plant-based, natural solution to this problem. Our product consists of a combination of both liquid and oil-based structures and is obtained entirely from natural plant extracts."

Emphasizing that if udder edema is not treated, it can lead to a decrease in milk yield and pave the way for serious diseases such as mastitis, Kale stated that their formula prevents this process. Kale said; "The deficiency of some minerals in the animal's diet, especially the imbalance of elements such as sodium, potassium, copper, magnesium, zinc, can cause edema. In our product, we contributed to the elimination of edema caused by these deficiencies through the topical application method, bringing together natural plant oils and extracts. We obtained very positive results from the trials."

Prof. Dr. Kale stated that they continue to use phytotherapy (herbal supportive/complementary application) methods effectively in livestock and announced that the new product is planned to be launched in a short time. Saying that it will be used safely thanks to its natural content, Kale said; "We believe that 'MAKÜ Memoderm' will be an important alternative for both veterinarians and breeders. With its herbal contents, it both protects animal health and increases milk yield. Thanks to its natural content, we have introduced a product that makes a difference from other commercial products."
