Some of these losses include: (1) decline in milk output, (2) decrease in body weight, (3) decrease in feed efficiency, (4) premature culling of potentially valuable cattle, :and (5) cost of treatment (https://lib.dr.iastate.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2678&context=iowastate_veterinarian)

Precautions
Procedure of Use Durbar practices a traditional method he learnt from his ancestors to heal the animals in distress. Soak whole green gram seeds (not husked) in water overnight. Grind into a fine paste, adding common salt. Smear the dislocated or sprained part with this paste and allow to dry in air for several minutes. Apply clean cotton wool and wrap with a bandage and apply bamboo splints to demobilize the joint. Keep the bandage in place till the animal is pain-free.
