Controlling ectoparasites<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
Gulabben, uses dry leaves of ‘mahuda’ (Madhuca indica), castor oil, turmeric and ‘avchi-bavchi’ (Moschosma polystachyum) plant when cattle are infected with fleas.She takes 10 to 15 plants of ‘avchi-bavchi’ and rubs them on the affected parts of the body. She cleans the cattleshed with brooms made out of the same plant and spreads about 100 g of dry ‘mahuda’ leaves near the shed. The strong odour of ‘mahuda’ leaves deters the fleas from attacking the cattle.For preventing ticks, Gulabben mixes 50 g of turmeric powder (Curcuma longa) with 100 g of castor oil and rubs the mixture on the affected parts of the body for three days. The ticks drop down from the tender parts of the animal’s body like the lower portion of the ear. Similarly, turmeric heals the infected parts of the cattle. The treatment offers great relief to the animal, which otherwise becomes extremely restless because of the irritation caused by the ectoparasites.Gulabben says that the method has been in use for a long time in her family.<\/p>\n <\/li>\n
