There were 4 set-ups. One set-up for the control group and 3 set-ups for the experimental group. Each set-up consists of 1 guinea pig. All the guinea pigs were induced with Castor oil to promote diarrhea. The control group was given Diatabs as anti-diarrheal drug while 3 experimental set-ups were given zinc extracts of 100%, 50% and 25% concentrations respectively as an antidiarrheal agent. The zinc formulations were found to be comparably effective in alleviating diarrheal symptoms as the commercial drug, Diatabs.
