He crushes 200 gram each of the bark of "laalia", "lasudee" and golden shower (Cassia fistula) trees on a stone and mixes the powders. He then soaks this powder mixture in one-litre water to prepare a solution which he administers to the animal each morning for three days. The quantity to be drenched is two drench-pipes a day or 500 millilitre.
This traditional and cost-effective practice is followed by the farmers of Dahod villages such as Mander, Daas and Dungarpur. |
