Disease Control
Disease Prevention
Precautions Good biosecurity and management practices are the best prevention for bacterial diarrhoea in adult cattle. Ensuring that cattle are in good health reduces their susceptibility to becoming infected while examination and quarantine practices are good ways to make sure you are not introducing unwell cattle into your herd.
Procedure of Use To treat this problem, the Dangis use 100 grams of the leaf of white emetic nut (Peucedanum grande), 100 grams of the root of amaltas (Cassia fistula) and 200 grams of the root of mango (Mangifera indica). These are crushed and soaked in water. The animal is cured of the problem in three days. This technique is traditional and has been in use for the last 20 years. This practice is less expensive and has no side effects
