Subclinical mastitis (SM), a prevalent yet often overlooked inflammatory disease, requires urgent attention. Building on our prior finding that feeding Lactiplantibacillus plantarum 24-7 inoculated alfalfa silage reduces systemic inflammation and may thus aid in SM prevention, this study further examined the underlying mechanisms. In the SM + Lp 24-7 group, inoculation markedly lowered milk fat, protein, casein, and free fatty acid content, while elevating ruminal acetate, propionate, and butyrate. Somatic cell counts decreased by over 30% on average compared to the SM group during the observation period. Furthermore, the SM + Lp 24-7 group showed increased serum levels of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC), ZO-1, and Occludin, along with reduced pro-inflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6). Collectively, these results indicate that L. plantarum 24-7 feed helps prevent SM through two complementary mechanisms: mitigating inflammatory responses and strengthening blood-milk barrier integrity, supporting its potential as a dietary strategy for maintaining dairy goat health.
