| 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 |
Madhubhai Chhaganbhai Chuvan treats severe cases of diarrhoea in cattle with Malabar endro (Bauhinia malabarica) bark and coconut (Cocos nucifera) shell powder. It is a traditional practice he learnt from forefathers.
Under the method, scrape the black outer surface of dry Malabar endro bark. Pound 100 gram of this to a powder. Similarly pound 100 gram of the hard shell of dry coconut fruit. Mix these powders and soak in one litre of warm water for four hours. Strain the decoction. Force it down the throat of the sick animal thrice a day for two days. The treatment will bring definite relief to the animal. The medication does not have any risk of adverse side-effects.
Madhubhai Chhaganbhai Chuvan cautions that undried or green bark should not be used. Only well-dried Malabar endro bark is to be used in the medication. The side of the tree facing the sun at the time of collection will not have harmful insects in the bark. Only this side of the trunk must be peeled.
Animals with gastro-intestinal distress due to infection or systemic disease have painful bowel movement. Their faeces are watery and often contaminated with mucus and blood. It emanates a foul smell. The evacuation is incessant and the tail and hind legs are messed up with dung. The animal becomes tired and listless. |
| 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. |
