Abstract

The project of collaboration between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine in Zagreb and the small enterprise Hedera Ltd from Split, entitled: “Intramammary propolis formulation for prevention and treatment of mastitis in dairy ruminants”is co-financed from the structural instruments of the European fund for regional development (EFRD) and the State Budget of Republic of Croatia. This is the first structural project of collaboration between the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and the business sector. The project’s estimated value is 3,048,238.43 HRK. The main goal of the project is research and development of innovative intramammary propolis formulation, as an alternative to antibiotic treatment of mastitis in dairy cows and goats. The development of this unique and original product may contribute to strengthening the business sector, through reducing the costs of milk production by facilitating meeting organic criteria in dairy farming. Interdisciplinary expert collaboration, along with investments in equipment and education, will strengthen the capacity of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine for further transfer of knowledge & technology projects.
