Gruel feeding remitted in rapid recovery of foot and mouth disease (FMD) affected dairy cows. The gruel was prepared by cooking equal proportion of whole rice, wheat flour and finger millet flour in adequate quantity of water, jaggery (10%) and mineral mixture. Four organized dairy cattle farms, affected with FMD were selected, where animals at first and second dairy farms were fed gruel @ 2 kg/day for 20 days, at the third dairy farm 2 kg/day/animal for 10 days and in the fourth farm no gruel was given. Wounds were sprayed with 1% KMnO4 solution and then applied with paste of honey (50%, v/v) and finger millet flour. Topical application of honey- finger millet flour paste, remitted in observation of pain relief in cows having tongue lesions and healing of the tongue/mouth wounds in 3 days thereby enabling the cows to resume eating. The per cent drop in milk yield in FMD affected cows in the first, second, third and fourth dairy farms was 85, 67, 45 and 81 respectively, regain by 80– 100 % in the treatment group after 16 to 20 days post infection, while in untreated animals, only 50% milk yield could be achieved at day 30–35 post infection. Therefore, gruel being low cost, locally available and easy to apply at farm level for rapid relief to the affected cows and faster improvement in daily milk yield helps in improving economic status of small, marginal farmers or livestock holders.
