Protecting cattle from heat stroke |

|
| Details |
Temperatures in the Bargarh district of Orissa often reach up to 480-500C. Mr Fakir Pradhan of Nuasarsara village uses the leaves of a shrub called Wild Asparagus (Asparagus racemosus Willd.) to prevent and treat heat stroke in his cattle. He serves the juice of 200 grams of leaves mixed with water to his cows every alternate day in the summers. He also sprinkles some of it on the cows’ heads. This method is especially important for crossbred Jersey cows, which are unable to withstand high temperatures. |
