27111 Jaggery solution for heatstrokeSometimes, cattle feel uneasy because of excessive internal heat during summers. The symptoms often appear after a prolonged drought. Gabhabhai Karanbhai Saparakher suggests taking two kilograms of jaggery and adding it to three litres of water and soaking the mixture overnight. The next morning, this solution is filtered 10 times with a thin cotton cloth and orally administered to the animals. This gives relief from the heat stroke. If the animal is suffering from severe heat stroke, the treatment should be administered for two days. Jaggery has been ethnobotanically reported for heat stroke (Kumar Surekh et al. (2008)IJTK, 7(4). Gabhabhai Karanbhai Saparakher, Village: Nava, Tehsil: Rajpipla,  District: Botad 27112 Rheumatism in cattleRheumatism in cattle causes intense pain in the joints, especially the knees, leading them to limp. Gabhabhai Saparakher uses desibabul (Vachellia nilotica L) leaves, sesame (Sesamum indicum L) oil and salt for treatment of rheumatism. Approximately, one kilogram of babul leaves are crushed, following which they are boiled with a pinch of salt and sesame oil. A thick and warm solution is thus formed which is then applied on the affected area. Post the application of this solution, the affected area should be tied or covered with cloth. The application has to be repeated two to three times, at an interval of every two days.The leaves and bark of babul (Acacia nilotica L.) (Kumar, A. et al. (2012).

Nutrients 6.5: 1931-1944. 27113 Yoke gall in animalYoke gall occurs when an ill-fitting yoke constantly rubs against the skin of a calf’s neck. Bachubahi Nanjibhai Solanki uses traditional practices to cure this. He collects saliva of the animal and applies it, consecutively for two to four days, on the affected area. Alternatively, he crushes six to seven kokum (Garcinia indica) fruits and boils them in half a cup of sesame oil. Post boiling, it is then allowed to be cooled and stored after filtration. This formulation is applied two to three times a day. Garcinia indica oil has been published in Honey Bee innovation. http://www.sristi.org/hbnew/hb_inno_detail.php?page=2073&search_case=Leaf%20curl%20in%20cotton&lang_name=en.
