Precautions
Procedure of Use	When animal sustains wound from injury then there are chances of swelling, suppuration and maggot infection in the wound. If the animal is not treated in time then pus oozes out from the wound. The animal becomes weak. The innovator farmer believes that feeding tuberous root of "nageeyali" plant to the animal along with fodder is effective in healing the maggotted wound. This results in killing of maggots and there is no side effect of this traditional medicine.
