Abstract
Colibacillosis treatment by using yoghurt was studied in suckling pigs. One hundred and twelve piglets (1-14 days old) that showed signs of diarrhoea were randomly divided into 5 groups: 1) 26 piglets were treated with antibiotic (enrofloxacin) as a control group 2) 15 piglets were treated with commercial plain yoghurt (Dutchie®) 3) 23 piglets were treated with commercial drink yoghurt (Yacul®) 4) 27 piglets were treated with home-made yoghurt produced from commercial yoghurt and 5) 21 piglets were treated with yoghurt produced from pure culture. Yoghurt were given orally twice a day from the day that piglets showed sign of diarrhoea to the recovery day but not over 5 days. The amount given was 5 ml/piglet on the first day, 10 ml/piglet on the second day and 15 ml/piglet on the third to fifth day. Antibiotic was given orally in a dose of 20 mg/piglet. Average duration of treatment of all groups was 2.76 days. Number of piglets recovered from diarrhoea in the treatment groups were higher than that of the control group (100, 93.33, 92.59 and 86.96% in group 5, 2, 4, and 3 respectively vs 80.77% in the control group; P<0.05). These results suggest that yoghurt can be used for colibacillosis treatment.
