| Procedure of Use |
To cure diarrhoea in animal, 250 g plant of "kapok" is pounded and extract is obtained. This extract is drenched to the affected animal twice a day. The plant of "kapok" is bitter in taste so, its extract is extracted. The effect of this medicine can be seen on the next day. In case of calf animal, 150 ml of dose is given to drench. |
| 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. |
