Mastitis infected milk was find by collected from Wellawaya veterinary office. Infected milk (100 4) was cultured and gram positive bacteria was identified. They were isolated and culture again in nutrient agar and then broth culture was prepared using buffered peptone. Plant materials were collected from Kandy, Katugastota area and plants were authenticated by National Herbarium, Peradeniya. Antimicrobial susceptibility tests by well diffusion method and disk diffusion method were conducted in two ways. In method one antimicrobial susceptibility test was done for natural fluid of plant material and method two was conducted for aqueous plant extractions. Amoxillin was used as positive control and distilled water was used as negative control in both methds. Bacterial inhibition not observed in tests. Diffusion of turmeric was clearly identified, but bacteria inhibition was not observed. In conclusion, with these negative results there are have some future recommendations for further research purposes.en_US
