ABSTRACT
Infection of Escherichia coli in piglets is
identified as one of major problems in pig husbandry. Data were collected from
different experiments conducted at farm levels and
results showed that the percentage of piglets infected with E. coli was very high. E. coli infected healthy
piglets were up to 48.9% and E. coli infected diarrhea
piglets accounted
for 88.3%. Using Betel Bokashi and
antibiotics in treatment brings about different results. Out of 48 infected
piglets, 15 piglets were
selected for three groups treatment with
five each group. Results showed that
92.3% diarrhea piglets treated with Betel Bokashi recovered in 3.85 d, while 100% and 88.23%
treated with antibiotics were cured in 4 d
and 4.01 d,
respectively. Post-treatment piglets in group 3 grew up faster than group 1 and group
2, with gains 231, 218 and 212 g, respectively.
