Abstract/Description: | The study aimed to evaluate the economics involved in the formulation of a therapeutic diet for Foot and MouthDisease and its impact on the convalescence period. A total of 22 Holstein Friesian crossbred male calves (10-12months) were considered in which 4 calves were of Control (CON) and 18 calves of treatment groups. The treatmentgroup animals namely, Therapeutic Diet-1 (TD-1), Therapeutic Diet-2 (TD-2), and Therapeutic Diet-3(TD-3) wereinfected with the FMD virus. The therapeutic diet was fed to calves in the morning and ad lib. hybrid Napier greenfodder in the afternoon. The experiment was carried out for 42 days. At the end of the experiment, animals gained18.73, 19.67, 19.10 and 19.42 kg body weight in CON, TD-1, TD-2 and TD-3 groups respectively. Body weightgain between the groups was non-significant. The total cost of feeding inclusive of both therapeutic diet and greenfodder was ₹546.24, 523.43, 521.56 and 509 respectively. Cost per kg body weight gain was also calculated. Thecost per kg body weight gain was non-significant among the groups; being highest in the CON group compared toinfected groups. It can be concluded from the present study that during FMD infectious conditions, the therapeuticdiet feeding either mash or cooked (with or without CNS) not only helped in regaining the body weight quickly butalso reduced the feeding and treatment cost. |
