| 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 |
Village animal doctor Shakrabhai Baria of Dahod district, Gujarat informs that monsoon months (June/July) brings fresh (and often contaminated) waters and lush green grass. Animals suddenly change their feeding pattern and start to gorge too much upon green fodder and water ; and this brings in diarrhoea. The affected animal becomes weak day by day, evacuates stinking, watery faeces and stops taking further feeds.
Shakrabhai treats this by soaking 500 g slow-match tree (Careya arborea) bark in 1 L water for 3 hr, and 200 g husk of coconut (Cocos nucifera) fruit in 1 L water for 12 hr. After this period, he mixes the filtrates of both the solutions and administers this medicine to the animal. The affected animal gets full relief within two days. |
| 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. |
