    Experimental Studies on oral fluid Therapy in Goats Diarrheic Goats
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1987) Abdul Salam Osmani; R. P. Sinha
    The opidemiological investigation revealed that the majority of goats suffered from diarrhea when they approached lush green grasses. The overall incidence of diarchoae in adult goats was 16.3% in a population of 350 goats. The analysis of different causative agents of diarrhoea indicated 59.65% of goats suffered from diarrhoes due to bacteria, 10.52% due to haemonchus infection, 3-51% due to trichuris infection, 3.52 due to trichostrongylus infection and 22.81% due to dietetic errors. Among the bacteria E coli was the onlyisolates from diarrheic goats. All isolates of g coli ware tested biochemically and the serotypes 024 025 °45′ °54' °61 °121* °138 148 and untypable strains were isolatad, out of which only 028 and 045 serotypes were found highly pathogenic. Majority of E. coli strains ware sensitive to chloramphenicol. Diarrhea vas induced in goats by administering magnesium sulphate which caused gradual loss of body weight and on day 9 of diarrhea there was 10.54 ± 1-24 to 10.58 1.32% loss of body weight. Such a model to study the fluid volume and electrolyte losses in adult ruminants, as a result of diarrhoea was made for the first time. Significant rise of packed cell volume (0.37 0.009 to 0.38 0.013 1/1) from normal 0.29 0.010 to 0.32 0.012 1/1 was noted significant fall of blood pH (7.08 0.051 to 7.16± 0.021) in diarmhoaic goats was noted on day 9 of diarrhoea

    PH increased significantly on day 9 of treatment to 7.34 0.021 and 7.32 0.040 in both the groups, and 2 respectively, whereas increase of ruminal fluid pH during treatment was not significant. Likewise significant increase of blood glucose level to 2.73 0.012 to 2.86 ± 0.27 mmol/1 was noted but the increase of serum calcium and total sarum protein was not significant during the period of ORS. Serum sodium level in T₁ group and ruminal fluid sodium level in both the groups increased significantly on day 9 of CRS whereas the increase of serum sodium level in 72 group was highly significant. But non-significant rise of serum potassium and ruminal fluid potassium level was noted during the days OF CRS in both the groups. It was, thus, concluded that the ORS II containing sodium chloride, trisodium citrate 2-hydrate, glycine and glucose was superior to ORS I containing sodium chloride, calcium gluconate, magnesium sulphate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dextrose and glycine.
