Abstract
The crude extract of Amla was found to be effective in treating pre-weaning piglet diarrhea. In this study, the group given a 25% extract concentration showed the most rapid recovery (4.80±0.57 days) and highest body weight gain (3240.00±45.83 g/piglet) over 15 days, outperforming the control group. Additionally, treatment costs were significantly lower in the 25% Amla crude extract group (0.039 USD per piglet) compared to the control group (0.052 USD per piglet). These findings suggested that Amla crude extract could be a cost-efficient alternative for managing pre-weaning piglet diarrhea, especially at a 25% concentration. Moreover, it addressed the issues of treatment expenses and antimicrobial resistance.
