Abstract
The efficacy of Tamarind Seed Coat (TSC) powder was carried out in two Jersey x Sindhi crossbred cattle (JS 857 and JS 854) which were neglected cases of Foot and Mouth lesion on the legs with maggots. Total number of 6 and 420 maggots was collected from JS 857 and JS 854, respectively. The maggots were identified as Chrysomia bezziana and Musca domestica . The infested cattle with maggots were treated with TSC powder and no maggot was observed after 2 nd day after treatment and complete healing of the wound was noticed after 6 th day in one cattle (JS 857). Similarly, no maggot was observed after 8 th day after treatment and complete healing of the wound was noticed after 29 th day in another cattle (JS 854). The amount spent to cure the lesion with TSC was Rs. 5 and Rs. 25, respectively in JS 857 and JS 854.
