"According to the farmers, an animal having diarrhoea or watrey excretion, becomes very weak since food is not retained in its stomach. For curing such animals, they warm 200 g of black cumin (Nigella sativa) in water till the mixture boils. This they cool and then give to the animal. They repeat the precedure once a day for a period of two to three days. In a matter of two days, the animal is cured. The black cumin kills the worms found in the animal""s stool.The farmers picked up the method from their forefathers." |

| Global Context |
Calf diarrhea (also known as calf scouring) is a commonly reported disease and a major cause of economic loss to cattle producers. The 2007 National Animal Health Monitoring System (NAHMS) for U.S. dairy reported that 57% of weaning calf mortality was due to diarrhea and most cases occurred in calves less than 1 month old. A similar mortality rate (53.4%) for dairy calves due to calf diarrhea was recently reported in Korea. The economic loss associated with calf death in Norway where calf production is 280,000 heads per year was estimated to be approximately 10 million US dollars in 2006.
