Therapeutic Effeets of Two Prescriptions of Chinese Traditional Medicines for Bovine Infectious Diarrhea

This experiment was conducted to observe efficacy of prescriptions of Chinese traditional medicines in cows in Baoding Hebei artificially infected with rotavirus(RV) and bovine viral diarrhea virus(BVDV).The calves and adult cows were randomly divided into treatment groups and control groups,respectively.The cows in treatment groups were gavaged with decoctions of two prescriptions of Chinese traditional medicine,respectively,100-150 g/calf every time,300-500 g/adult cow every time,1-2 times daily for 3-5 days.The cows in control groups were treated with ribavirin combined with gentamicin.Result showed that the effective rates of prescriptions of Chinese traditional medicine for calf infectious diarrhea were 90%-94%,and cure rates were 74%-80%.The effective rates of prescriptions for adult cow infectious diarrhea were 92%-96%,and cure rates were 74%-80%.Therapeutic effeets of prescriptions of Chinese traditional medicines for bovine infectious diarrhea were obviously better than that of commonly used clinically antiviral western medicine or antibiotics(P0.05).
