"To treat diarrhoea in animals, Chuniabhai of district Dahod extracts fresh fruit juice of 500 g timru (Diospyros melanoxylon Roxb.) and adds 200 ml to 300 ml of water to it. He makes the ailing animal consume it two times in a day for two to three days. This will cure the problem (Honey bee 20(3),21,2009)." |

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |

| Disease Description |
Diarrhoea is a multifactorial disease entity that can have serious financial and animal welfare implications in dairy herds. It has been estimated that 75% of early calf mortality in dairy herds is caused by acute diarrhoea in the pre-weaning period. |
| Disease Control |
|
| Disease Prevention |
|
| Precautions |
Maintain food quality in animal as well as maintain hygienic condition in herd. |
| Procedure of Use |
When the animal is affected with diarrhoea, 250 g leaves and tender shoots of mango (Mangifera indica) are boiled in 1 L water. After cooling, about 600 - 700 g of the decoction is drenched to the animal. Raw mangoes are also fed. This completely cures diarrhoea in cattle. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
Where diarrhoea is the most obvious sign, the primary causes can be thought of broadly in two different groups, nutritional and infectious. 1) Nutritional causes include: acidosis (e.g. grain overload), lush green feed, cobalt or selenium deficiency, copper deficiency or toxicity. 2) Infectious causes include: worms viruses (e.g. bovine viral diarrhoea virus), bacteria (e.g. Salmonella or Yersinia). It is important to remember that some infectious causes of diarrhoea, such as Salmonella and Yersinia, can potentially affect humans. Always practise high levels of hygiene when dealing with sick cattle. |
| Global Context |
