Low Cost Remedies for Cattle26201 Mastitis in animalTo treat infection in a swollen udder in cattle, Taraben uses a herbal practice. She used to find blood and pus in milk when the udder was infected. To cure this, she soaks 50 g dry tamarind (Tamarindus indica L.) in 100 ml of hot water. She removes the seeds along with the outer layer (skin) and its veins and then filters it to make a paste. She then adds 50 g indigo powder and makes a semi-solid paste. This paste, when applied to the affected udder daily after milking the cattle for one week, can provide relief to the cattle. Along with this practice, an icebag can also applied before milking. This remedy can be continued till the infection gets completely cured.Taraben Vasudevbhai Patel, Malosan, Taluka, Vijapur, Mehsana districtScout: Sneha V.
