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 The animal suffering from diarrhoea expels thin watery excrement with pungent odour. It becomes weak and milch animal shows reduction in milk yield. To get rid of this problem, the inner bark of bustard teak ( Butea monosperma) tree, black plum (Syzygium cumini) tree and silk cotton tree (Bombax ceiba), one kilogram each, are collected and cut into small pieces. Total 3 kg of this bark is then soaked in water for three hours. The solution obtained is filtered through a piece of cloth. About 500 millilitre of this filtrate is drenched to the animal as a single dose. This dose is repeated for three days continuously. This cures diarrhoea in animals.
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.
