Explanation:

Recently, the National Innovation Foundation (NIF) has developed a poly-herbal medicine called Mastirak Gel to treat Mastitis in Dairy Cattle.

• About Mastitis: Mastitis, or inflammation of the mammary gland, is the most common and the most expensive disease of dairy cattle throughout most of the world. 
• Several types of bacteria cause distinctly different mastitis infections. 
• Antibiotic infusions into the udder nearly always cure the clinical disease but may not eliminate the bacterial infection.

Cause: Although stress and physical injuries may cause inflammation of the gland, infection by invading bacteria or other microorganisms (fungi, yeasts and possibly viruses) is the primary cause of mastitis.

• Infections begin when microorganisms penetrate the teat canal and multiply in the mammary gland.

Impact: It can affect farm productivity due to fall in milk quality, thus impacting income-generating activities.

• It reduces milk yields, increases the cost of production and makes milk less valuable for liquid consumption and manufacture.

Hence both statements 1&2 are correct.
