THE BREEDING EFFICIENCY OF A COW DEPENDS ON…………… HOW BEST THE POST PARTUM EVENTS ARE TAKEN CARE
POST PARTUM EVENTS
EXPULSION OF PLACENTA
LOCHIAL DISCHARGE DISAPPERANCE
INVOLUTION OF UTERUS
EE 1. EXPULSION OF PLACENTA
Placentome is the attachment between the dam(caruncle) and the fetal membranes (cotyledon)
PARTURITION BEGINS
CONTRACTIONS OF THE UTERUS STARTS
BLOOD FLOW DECREASES TO THE PLACENTOME
BLOOD VESSELS SHRINKS
CONTINUATION
CAPILLARY PRESSURE IS LESSENED
SEPERATION OF FETAL MEMBRANES OCCURS
NORMAL EXPULSION OF PLACENTA (WITHIN 12 HRS OF CALVING)
RETENTION OF PLACENTA AFTER CALVING, ALMOST 90% OF THE HERD COWS ARE INFECTED BY PATHOGENS
THE FREQUENCY OF R.P S FOR 7-10% UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS IN COW
CAUSES:
Abnormal Parturition- dystocia, Abortion, large fetus etc Uterine Inertia Hypo calcemia Specific infections like- Brecellosis, leptospirosis etc Excess corn silage fed to dry cows
2.DISAPPEARANCE OF LOCHIA During the first 14 days after calving, there may be an appreciable amount of brown-red or even white discharge called lochia. Metritis discharges must be distinguished from normal lochia. Lochia is the result of a normal healing process and unlike metritis, it will not have an offensive odor. Over the course of Involution, the color of the lochia will change from brown-red to viscous yellow-white color
3. UTERINE INVOLUTION UTERINE INVOLUTION IS NOT A STERILE PROCESS DUE TO LOCHIAL DISCHARGE.
85-93% OF COWS WILL HAVE UTERINE INFECTIONS, 2 WKS POST CALVING
UTERINE INVOLUTION requires 42-50 days for completion. During the Involution, Uterus undergoes., Reduction in size Necrosis and Shrinking of the caruncle Re-epithelialization of the Endometrium

DELAYED UTERINE INVOLUTION LEADS TO….
Endometritis/Metritis / pyometra Reccurance of RPM in next calving Irregular Estrous cycles Persistant C.L- lack of PGF2α Anoestrus Failure of conception Loss of milk yield
Timely involution of Uterus
FEATURES
Adhatoda vasica Gloriosa superba
Plumbago zeylanica
Peganum hermala
BENEFITS
Early onset of PP heat & better conception rate
Steady contraction of uterine Horns,helps in easy expulsion of placenta
Timely involution of Uterus
Early disapp of Lochia
INDICATIONS: In Freshly calved Animals -To prevent retention of Placenta -For timely involution of uterine horn -As a uterine tonic & cleansing agent
In case of Retained Placenta -To facilitate easy expulsion of Retained placenta, pus & tissue debris - to assist in manual removal of placenta
DOSAGE: Bolus: Large Animals: Loading dose of 2 boli on 1st day & 1 bolus Twice daily for next 2 days
Liquid: Large Animals: Loading dose of 200ml on 1st day* and followed by 100ml for 3 consecutive days
Small Animals: Loading dose of 1 bolus on 1st day & half bolus Twice daily for next 2 days
Small Animals: Loading dose of 100ml on 1st day* and followed by 50 ml for 3 consecutive days
ister the bolus as such/dissolve in Water and give as a drench
*Double the dose(bolus/liquid) for animals weighing above 400 kg
