Abstract

This study was performed on 4 groups of suckling calves (each group consists of 7 calves). Calves in group 1 were apparently healthy and used as a control group. Calves in groups 2,3,4 were suffering from mild diarrhea and degree of dehydration was 6-8%. All diarrheic calves treated with Norodine (Sulfa diazine 200 mg and Tri methoprim 40 mg) (Norbrook company) + Cevarol (vit.c:1000mg) +Kapect (pectin 0.43%&Light kaolin 19.3%) +Life Aid Xtra (Oral rehydration solution) (Norbrook company). In addition to these drugs, Group 2 treated with Royal Jelly capsule (1000 mg) orally per calf as one shot as a source of energy (human drug) (Safe company, Egypt). Group 3 treated with (G NUTRA 2 S DAT) :10%Garlic extract + 90% Saccharomyces Cerevisae) (15 gm orally per calf) as one shot as immune stimulant and natural antibiotic (Ameco bios company.S. A). Group 4 treated with Zinc Oxide (500 mg powder) orally per calf as one shot as immune stimulant (AL ALamia company, Egypt). Three blood Samples were collected from each diarrheic calf at day zero before treatment, the 2™4 day and the 6" day after treatment and One blood Sample was taken from each control calf. These samples used for determination of red blood cells, haemoglobin, white blood cells, sodium, potassium, chloride, creatinine and total protein. the three drugs which used in our study as supportive treatment have very good role in treating diarrheic cales, Royal Jelly capsule was the best in correcting Haemoglobin and Cloride. G NUTRA 2 S DAT was the best in correcting the content of WBCs and Creatinine and show significant improvement in the content of K*. Zinc Oxide was the best in correcting the content of RBCs, Na', K* and total proteins and show significant improvement in the content of Haemoglobin.
