Agro Ecological Zone	Agro Ecological Sub Region (ICAR) North Sahyadris and konkan coast hot humid eco sub region (19.1), Agro-Climatic Zone (Planning Commission) Gujarat plains and Hills region (XIII), Agro Climatic Zone (NARP) South Gujarat heavy rainfall area (GJ-1)
Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs	Moderate to severe dehydration. Abdominal pain. Depression. Melena or hematochezia. Presence of an abdominal mass or dilated loop of bowel. Frequent vomiting. Signs of systemic illness, such as: Ascites. Lymphadenopathy. Coughing.
Disease Description	In diarrhoea, the intestine fails to adequately absorb fluids, and/or secretion into the intestine is increased. Loss of fluids through diarrhoea produces dehydration and the loss of certain body salts. Diarrhoea causes a change in body tissue composition and severe depression in the animal.
Disease Control	Depending on the cause of diarrhoea, treatment options may include responsible use of antibiotics or anthelminthics, anti-inflammatories, rehydration fluids, vaccination, mineral supplementation and ration management. Note that antibiotics are only useful if the cause is a bacterial infection.
Disease Prevention	Prevention. Identifying the cause of diarrhoea in the herd will allow you to make a sound plan about how to prevent or minimise the effect. This can include reviewing rations, grazing plans, worm management and biosecurity practices.
Precautions
Procedure of Use	Birds suffering from cold stops taking feed becomes lethargic and sticky secretion flows through the nose. Some time these symptoms are followed with diarrhoea. This disease can be treated by using bellirica myrobalan (Terminalia bellirica) and dodder (Cuscuta reflexa). About 250 g bark of bellirica myrobalan and 250 g vine of dodder is pounded together. One litre of water is added to prepare a mixture. Thereafter 250 g of shells found in river are boiled and after it is cooled is added with above mixture from bellirica myrobalan bark and dodder. Thereafter, this mixture is placed around poultry farm. Thirsty poultry drinks this mixture which cures cold and diarrhoea. Practice is widely used in the area.
Etiology Causative Agent	Infectious causes include: worms, viruses (e.g. bovine viral diarrhoea virus) and bacteria (e.g. Salmonella or Yersinia - see the Bacterial diarrhoea heading below)
Global Context	Spread world wide
Lesson Implication	Bovine viral diarrhea (BVD) is most common in young cattle (6–24 mo old). Distinguished from other viral diseases that produce diarrhea and mucosal lesions.
