Studies on Liponecrosis in Cattle

V. Treatment and Prevention

Abstract

Five breeding indigenous Japanese cows with clinical symptoms of liponecrosis were administered with 250g of yokuinin, or a main component of the graminoid grass, Coix ma-yuen, for 2 consecutive days. This treatment was carried out 4-5 times at twoweek intervals. As a result, there was a reduction in the size of necrotic mass.
Five cows with subclinical liponecrosis were administered orally with a daily dose of 250g of the grminoid grass powder for 6 consecutive months. As a result, necrotic masses around the rectum decreased in size or disappeared in months.
