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.
