Abstract
A study was conducted in fifty
non-descript goats of 1-2 years of age, presented in Veterinary clinics of Shirval Veterinary College Maharashtra,
India. Faecal and blood samples were collected from
all the goats suffering from enteritis. Confirmative diagnosis of bacterial
enteritis was done on the basis of bacteriological and haemato-biochemical
tests. Animals were randomly divided into four (Group II to V) groups. Group I
constituted of healthy animals (n= 10) (negative control), group II constituted
diarrhoeic untreated animals (n=10) and Group III, IV
and V (n=10) were the treatment groups. Group III animals were treated with polyherbal antidiarrhoeal
formulation AV/ADC/16 @10gm BID for 4 days (coded formulation supplied by Ayurvet ltd. Baddi
India), group IV treated with AV/ADC/16@15gms BID for 4 days and group V
was treated with combination of AV/ADC/16 @ 10 gm and Ofloxacin
@100mg BID for 4 days. In addition to clinical observations, haemato-biochemical parameters were recorded before and
after treatment. The polyherbal antidiarrhoeal
formulation AV/ADC/16 alone and in combination with antibiotics was found to be
effective to treat diarrhoea, regain appetite and
improved overall general body condition.
