27101 Treating diarrhoea in cattle in a traditional wayDiarrhea in cattle is traditionally treated by farmers of Nuapada district with leaves of betel, ginger and camphor (edible variety). Shibnarayan takes four betel leaves, 50-100 gram of ginger and 32 pellets of camphor and grinds these. He administers the paste orally, twice a day, for three days. Shibanarayana Keuta, DiwanmundaPanwat, District: NuapadaBetel leaves are antimicrobial, carminative, stomachic, anthelmintic, etc. (Nair, R., & Chanda, S. (2008). Indian journal of pharmaceutical sciences, 70(3), 390. 27102 Controlling ticks and lice infestation in goats without using chemicalChitrasen rears a herd of 65 goats for livelihood. He puts four ducks in the goat shed at night, who pick on the lice and ticks from the goats’ bodies when they return from grazing. He got wonderful results and also saved money which was earlier spent on chemicals to control lice and ticks.
