| Procedure of Use |
Cut some branches of the Jerusalem thorn plant (Parkinsonia aculeata) known locally as "rambaval" and separate leaves and green thorns. Pound 50 grams of these leaves and thorns and obtain the extract. To this extract add 50 grams of "bhang" or crushed hemp (Caanabis sativa) leaves and mix. Dilute the mixture in one litre of fermented buttermilk. Drench this to the dehydrated animal and soon the loose motion stops. |
| 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 |
