303401 Ticks and lice, suck the blood Scrub the body by bitter ridge gourd
Ticks and lice infestation are a major problem in rain infested tropical areas in Odisha, as they suck animal blood and made them anemic. They also spread many protozoan diseases in cattle. Cow keepers in Khordha region use dried, wild variety ridge gourds, locally called as “Pita Tarada” for controlling them (Honey Bee 15(2): 14, 2004 for similar practices). They soak dried ridge gourds, scrub on the body surface of the cattle infested and give a bath. By this ticks and lice get paralyzed and fell from body to the ground.

303402 Deworm goats with green and fresh Use black-eyed Susan leaves
Goat keeping in Sambalpur area is profitable because the area is rich in grazing land. But intestinal worm infestation in goat hampers their growth. Farmers deworm goats with green leaves of Black-eyed Susan (Abrus precatorius). Taking 3 fistfuls of Black-eyed Susan leaves and giving it to the animals once in a week and repeating for next two weeks, cure them (Honey Bee 21(2):14, 2010 for similar practices for animal health). Alternatively, they feed the goat with its paste.

To energize the bullocks, farmer prepares a fermented food using Mahua flowers (Honey Bee 14(4) &15(1): 29, 2003 for similar practices of Mahua flower). A mixture of 1 kg boiled rice, 1 kg Mahua flowers and 1 kg Maize powder is prepared and put in 10 liters of rice gruel. The earthen pot is used for storage, sealed with an earthen
plate and kept for 5 days. By 5 days the mixture is again agi- tated and kept closed for another two days. After 7 days the earthen pot is opened and one liter of the mixture is offered daily for seven days. This energizes the bullocks.
