According to the TCM theory, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Atractylodes, Agastache rugosa and Gypsum Fibrosum with the following active constituents, C. Phellodendron alkaloid, R. Atractylodes Aetherolea, Herbal Agastachis Aetherolea and G. Fibrosum extract can be combined and applied to prevent or cure animal diseases caused by heat stress (Guo et al., 2011).According to the TCM theory, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Atractylodes, Agastache rugosa and Gypsum Fibrosum with the following active constituents, C.

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
Red skin and dizziness. There is generally a lack of sweating in classic heat stroke while sweating is generally present in exertional heatstroke. Early symptoms of heat stroke include behavioral changes, confusion, delirium, dizziness, weakness, agitation, combativeness, slurred speech, nausea, and vomiting. |
| Disease Description |
Heat stress is the combination of heat and humidity that negatively impact a cow’s health and performance. It is often defined as a Temperature humidity index (THI) greater than 72. The ideal ambient temperature for a dairy cow is between 41 and 77° F. Moderate signs of heat stress may occur when the temperature is between 80° and 90°F with the humidity ranging from 50 to 90 percent. As ambient temperature approaches body temperature, sensible routes of heat loss (through respiration) are compromised which leaves only evaporative heat loss as the
major route of heat dissipation. |
| Disease Control |
|
| Disease Prevention |
Prevention provie by to cool them, either in the cow yard or at the feed rack. Allowing cows in streams is generally a good idea, on the most oppressive hottest days it seems reasonable to let them enjoy some wading time in the water. Allowing cows into the woods is another option. |

| Procedure of Use |
When the animal suffers heat-stroke, "deelo" grass is first spread on floor in ample quantity. Over that, camel thorn (Alhagi pseud-alhagi) plant is laid and well-pressed. Then again another layer of "deelo" grass is laid. Thereafter, roof-shed is prepared using this three-layered carpet and the suffering animal is rested under the roof. Animal gets cured and will not get heat-stroke. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Heat stroke occurs because of high external temperatures or physical exertion. It often occurs under prolonged exposure to extreme environmental or exertional heat. |
| Global Context |
Heat stroke spreads worldwide in cattle |
