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 becomes weak and stops feeding. It constantly keeps lying down. For the treatment of diarrhoea in animals, about 600 gram leaves of emetic nut tree (Xeromphis uliginosa) are crushed and soaked in one-litre water for three hours. Stir the solution with a stick every one hour. Filter the mixture before drenching it to the animal. Drench about 250 millilitre of this concoction to the affected animal. The mixture is filtered only when it is to be given to the animal. A dose of three times drenching per day for two days completely relieves animal from diarrhoea. This is a self-developed practice of Parvatbhai Baria based on his own experience. Many people in the nearby areas in Dahod use this practice.
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.
