Abstract

The goal of the current study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a 10-day rectal enema curcumin treatment for calves suffering from diarrhea and its effects on intestinal barrier functioning and calf hygiene scoring. Material and Methods: Thirteen diarrheic calves in all were enrolled, and the effectiveness of the rectal curcumin treatment was assessed by evaluating calf hygiene and health scoring. Results: Fecal scores ranged between 1-3 (7 calves had scores of 3) prior curcumin treatment (days 0), whereas after treatment (day 10), these ranged between 0 to 1. (10 calves with score 0) (p<0.05). However, calf hygiene scores increased from 4 to 9 (7 of them above 7) before treatment (day 0) to 1-3 (scoring 1 for 7 calves) with a statistically significant change (p<0.01) after treatment (day 10). This study supports that rectal curcumin may have assisted in reducing dirtiness and improving hygiene conditions, as measured by scoring for the interpretation as to whether calves had a comfortable, clean, and dry area to lie down.
