Agro Ecological Zone |
Agro Ecological Sub Region (ICAR) Madhya Bharat plateau Western Malwa plateau, Eastern Gujarat plain, Vindhyan and Satpura range and Narmada Valley hot, moist semi-arid eco-subregion (5.2), Agro-Climatic Region (Planning Commission) Gujrat Plains And Hills Region (XIII) , Agro-Climatic Zone (NARP) Middle Gujarat Zone (GJ-3) |
Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
The rumen is usually full, firm, and doughy. Primary contractions are decreased in rate or absent, but secondary contractions may be present although usually decreased in strength. Temperature, pulse, and respiration are normal. The feces are normal to firm in consistency but reduced in amount. |
Disease Description |
The simple accumulation of excessive quantitiesof relatively indigestible feed may physically impair rumen function for 24-48 hr. The disease is common in hand-fed dairy and beef cattle and rarely seen in sheep |

Procedure of Use |
Women farmer Champaben treat indigestion in animal. To manage this condition, one or two raw fruits of bitter cucumber (Cucumis callosus) are taken and smeared them on a rough stone or mortar into the paste form. In this paste, 100 ml of water is added and drenched to the affected animal with the help of drenching pipe. Thus, the animal is cured of the problem. Second dose is only given, when it is necessary. |
Etiology Causative Agent |
1) Sudden ingestion of excessive quantities of highly palatable feeds such as corn or grasssilage or excessive quantities of relatively indigestible, poor-quality roughage during winter. 2) During drought, cattle and sheep may be forced to eat large quantities of poor-quality straw,bedding, or scrub. |
Global Context |
Administration of ~20 L of warm water or saline via a stomach tube, followed by vigorous kneading of the rumen, may help restore rumen function in adult cattle. |
