Abstract
Phytotherapeutic and natural compounds and/or immunonutrition has gained increased use. It is seen that various diseases in veterinary medicine can be treated with returning to natural products and using of phytotherapeutic compounds that as normally appear to be nutritional elements. Even if it is known that citrus by-products being high economic value can be added to ruminant rations, there are unknowns about therapeutic using. The aim of this study was to state the effect of citrus seed extract, which is one of the novel natural preparations in our country, on hide cleanliness and stool consistency scores in diarrhoeic and non-diarrhoeic 2 different calves group. After evaluating the stool consistency and hide cleanliness which scored on a scale of 0 to 3 in totally 18 calves of 11 with diarrhea and 7 healthy, citrus seed extract was applied to both group by rectal enema with 20 ml for one week in a commercial enterprise farm in…….. Province. After application, a decrease of stool consistency and hide cleanliness scores (between 0-1) was observed. Significant reduction in both scores after application may give clues about the effectiveness of citrus seed extract and its practical use in the field at the recommended dose.
