Practical Methods for Cleverly Using Luffa to Treat Livestock Diseases
Cleverly Using Luffa to Treat Livestock Diseases
Luffa, of the Cucurbitaceae family, is an annual climbing herbaceous plant distributed in temperate and tropical regions worldwide and widely cultivated in China. Its fruit is eaten as a vegetable when tender, and after maturity the fibers remaining after the flesh is removed form luffa sponge, which is used medicinally and can dredge meridians. Farmers in the mountainous areas of southern Jiangxi cleverly use luffa to treat livestock diseases and have achieved very good results.
For treating pig roundworms: luffa seeds, 40 to 50 seeds per day for large pigs and 30 seeds per day for small pigs, fed for two or three days, and the roundworms will die and be expelled from the body.
For treating pig eczema: when pigs suffer from eczema, the skin is flushed, swollen and inflamed in the early stage, after which flat papules appear, and some form small blisters or pustules. Because of severe itching, the pigs rub forcefully, causing hair loss or bleeding; in severe cases this leads to poor appetite, poor spirits and emaciation. Luffa leaves can be pounded into a paste, and the juice applied to the affected areas until the local skin turns red. Apply and wash once every two days; after two or three consecutive times, it can be cured.
For treating fistula: fistulas are often difficult to cure and do not heal for a long time, seriously affecting the health and work capacity of livestock. Treatment mostly uses surgical removal, but due to limited conditions in rural areas, surgical treatment is somewhat difficult. Wash fresh luffa leaves, remove the hard stems, chop them, and pound them into a paste. Then stuff the luffa leaf paste into the opening of the fistula so that the cavity is filled, press cotton tightly against the opening, and secure it with a bandage or adhesive tape. After two days, remove the cotton to allow the filling to flow out. After 10 to 15 days, fresh granulation tissue can grow and the wound will scab over and heal.
For treating breast swelling in female livestock: 1) Decoct luffa sponge, hibiscus leaves and ramie roots in water and feed the liquid; 2) Decoct 1 part each of luffa vine, honeysuckle vine, dandelion, silver [likely silverweed or a silver-containing herb], and wild chrysanthemum in water and feed the liquid.
For treating summer heat in piglets: appropriate amounts each of luffa tendrils, light bamboo leaves, watermelon rind and lotus petiole, decocted in water and fed.
For treating no milk or insufficient milk in female livestock: take 250 grams of luffa sponge, cut it into small pieces, decoct it into a soup and let the female livestock drink it freely, twice a day; results can be seen after several consecutive days.
For treating blocked milk flow in female livestock: mix luffa pulp (stir-fried until cooked) with rice (ground into slurry) and feed; or boil 250 grams of luffa sponge and one pig trotter together until soft, take the liquid and feed.
For treating skin diseases in livestock: pound fresh luffa leaves into a paste and apply, or apply dried powder mixed with cold tea.
For treating scalds and burns in livestock: apply luffa vine juice to the wound surface, 3 times a day; after 4 to 5 consecutive days, it will scab over and heal.
For treating pneumonia and acute or chronic tracheitis in livestock: decoct luffa vine in water and feed 3 times a day, or use luffa vine juice and feed 2 to 3 times a day.
