Atractylodes Aetherolea, Herbal Agastachis Aetherolea and G. Fibrosum extract can be combined and applied to prevent or cure animal diseases caused by heat stress (Guo et al., 2011).According to the TCM theory, Cortex Phellodendri, Rhizoma Atractylodes, Agastache rugosa and Gypsum Fibrosum with the following active constituents, C.

"Mr Fakir Pradhan of Nuasarsara village uses the leaves of a shrub called Wild Asparagus (Asparagus racemosus Willd.) to prevent and treat heat stroke in his cattle. He serves the juice of 200 grams of leaves mixed with water to his cows every alternate day in the summers. He also sprinkles some of it on the cows’ heads. This method is especially important for crossbred Jersey cows, which are unable to withstand high temperatures. (Honey Bee, 17(4) & 18(1):41, 2006 & 2007)"

Disease Description
|
Heat stress is the combination of heat and humidity that negatively impact a cow’s health and performance. It is often defined as a Temperature humidity index (THI) greater than 72. The ideal ambient temperature for a dairy cow is between 41 and 77° F. Moderate signs of heat stress may occur when the temperature is between 80° and 90°F with the humidity ranging from 50 to 90 percent. As ambient temperature approaches body temperature, sensible routes of heat loss (through respiration) are compromised which leaves only evaporative heat loss as the major route of heat dissipation.

Management Practices
|
Heat-stress animals are primarily treated by hosing down the animal with cold water continuously for twenty to thirty minutes, head to tail, with special attention paid to hosing the back of the head
