Calf diarrhoea – a consideration of the preventive effect of a homeopathic medicament

Abstract

The effect of preventive application of a polycomposite homeopathic remedy was evaluated in a group of 548 calves to the age of 21 days. An experiment was conducted in a herd with conventional management under standard operating conditions. It can be concluded on the basis of morbidity comparison between the control and experimental groups that there was a marked trend of a reduction in the frequency of diarrhoea occurrence among the calves of the experimental group. There was a decrease in the morbidity rate in the experimental group by 5.46 %. But the statistical significance of the effect of the applied homeopathic remedy was not proved.
