Abstract :

Diarrhoea is one of the major problems in goats. Large numbers of landless labourers and marginal farmers have goats as their readymade source of earning, which improves the economic status of farmers and also provides employment to the weaker section of society. The present study was aimed to evaluate the efficacy of indigenous plants i.e. Aegles marmelos (bael) fruit. Diarrheic goats were selected having 6 animals in a group. The overall response of the treatment was assessed on the improvement of clinical and haemato-biochemical profile of diarrhoeic goats and return of these parameters towards normalcy. Various haematological values like Hb, PCV, TEC, TLC, MCV, MCH and MCHC were found to decrease and biochemical parameters were found to alter before and after treatment. Key words: Diarrhoea, Aegles marmelos, Herbal treatment
