Abstract :

 In present study the impact of herbal product in treatment of pregnancy toxemia in does was examined. 12 does tentatively diagnosed for pregnancy toxemia by physical examination, clinical symptoms and presence of ketone bodies in the urine, were randomly divided into two groups (n=6). Group T1 does were treated with herbal product AV/KPC/10 (M/S Ayurvet Ltd., Baddi) at the rate of 1tube (300gm)/day/animal for 3–5 days along with fluid administration and group T2 does were treated with conventional therapy, propylene glycol (50gm/day) and glycerine (100gm/day), for 2–3 days as per the severity of disease along with fluid therapy of 50% glucose solution @100ml/day. The statistical analysis of the result revealed that in AV/KPC/10 treated group T1 does, there was significant (P≤0.05) improvement in hemoglobin, PCV, total erythrocyte count and total leukocyte count as compared to conventional therapy treated does of T2 group. AV/KPC/10 treatment in group T1 does efficiently restored the altered hematological as well as biochemical parameters as compared to that of conventional therapy treated group T2 does. In the present clinicotherapeutic trial, AV/KPC/10 herbal gel was found effective to treat pregnancy toxemia in does in comparison to conventional therapy.
