| 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. |

| Procedure of Use |
Animal doctor Ramanbhai Bamaniya of Dahod district, Gujarat informs that the animal suffering from diarrhoea frequently discharges foetid and watery faeces. The distressed animal weakens day by day and stops taking feeds.
Ramanbhai treats the animal by soaking 200 g finely powdered bark each of slow-match tree (Careya arborea) and asan wood (Terminalia crenulata) in 500 g water. After about 3 hr, he filters
the solution with the help of fine cloth or funnel and administers the filtrate to the animal, three times in a single day. This treatment shows effect in two days and the animal gets relief from diarrhoea. He is using this practice for over many years. He is known as an animal doctor of repute in these parts since last 40 years.
Identification of the trees : slow-match tree (Careya arborea) is a rare, medium-sized tree bearing leaves like that of mahua (Madhuca indica) and white branches like that of "renj" tree.
(The practice is rechecked in June 2004 by Purshottam B Patel. Information collected on rechecking : Ramambhai collects and stores bark of various trees in advance and uses these when necessary). |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Infectious causes include: worms. viruses (e.g. bovine viral diarrhoea virus) 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. |
