Lack of feces and poor dry digestive function, beware of louver disease in raising cattle in winter

Tripe's dry disease, also known as valvular obstruction disease, occurs frequently in winter. it is mainly caused by improper feeding and management, excessive exertion, lack of exercise, long-term feeding of a large amount of dry and hard feed rich in crude fiber, or feed with bran, dregs and a large amount of silt. in addition, insufficient drinking water leads to fire in cattle, which makes it difficult for the feed stuck in the valvular lobule to descend due to lack of water, resulting in valvular obstruction. And then cause the valve stomach to lose its normal digestive function.

Cattle

Symptoms: depressed spirit, loss of appetite, regurgitation disorder, erect coat, emaciation and weakness. In the initial stage, the feces are less and dry, the color is dark and spherical, there is mucus on the surface, and the feces contain undigested feed, and then defecate less, showing abacus-like beads, and the urine is short and turbid. Touch pressure and percussion of the double stomach (between the 7th and 9th ribs on the right, above and below the horizontal line of the shoulder joint), the sick cattle were painful and restless, and even resisted, and the contents of the punctured stomach were hard. In the later stage, black, small and hard feces, lying more and standing less, loss of appetite, cessation of rumination, often empty chewing, molars, elevated body temperature, faster breathing, increased pulse, less and yellow urine, dry nose, and even cracking. If the occurrence of valvular lobular necrosis, can be secondary to septicemia, then elevated body temperature, shortness of breath, moaning, and finally die of failure.

In winter and spring, cattle are mainly hay or powder, so it is not appropriate to feed too fine forage, silty feed should be properly limited; forage should be as clean as possible, sediment content should be strictly controlled; drinking water should be adequate, warm water should be drunk as much as possible in winter and spring, it is best to often add salt to promote digestion and enhance appetite; feed a certain amount of silage, and adhere to daily exercise, reasonable service, avoid overwork, and can effectively prevent the disease.

For sick cattle, as long as the rescue is timely, the treatment effect is good. The following treatments can be used:

(1) take 500ml soybean oil or paraffin oil to lubricate the stomach;

(2) at the beginning of the disease, 500 murine 800 grams of sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate, 1 ml of liquid paraffin and 10 liters of water can be given once to promote the excretion of gastric contents.

(3) for patients with a long and serious illness, a long needle can be used to inject 100% sodium sulfate or magnesium sulfate 1ml into the valvular stomach at the intersection of the anterior edge of the tenth rib on the right and the horizontal line of the shoulder end, or slightly below; if about 500 ml of liquid paraffin or vegetable oil is injected at the same time, the effect is better. In order to promote the recovery of valvular stomach function, vitamin B1 and an bromine mixture can be used together. When necessary in the later stage of the disease, cardiotonic therapy, fluid replacement and gastric lavage can be used, and 20 ml of 5% sodium chloride solution can be injected intravenously to strengthen heart and diuresis.

(4) traditional Chinese medicine can also be used to treat diseased cattle that are not seriously ill. Take mirabilite 120 grams, talc, Euphorbia officinalis, Angelica sinensis, Atractylodes macrocephala, Erchou each 30 grams, rhubarb 60 grams, licorice 6 grams, mix fine, add 500 grams of lard, warm water. Even taking several doses, the effect is also very good.
