MILKOGEN: Increasing Milk Yield

Milk is an essential part of our lives. Straight from childhood to adulthood, milk and milk products have played a pivotal role in human nutrition. Usually cow or buffalo milk is used as an alternative to other foodstuffs which is usually because milk is a complete food in itself. Since India is an agro-based country primarily, the majority of its economic growth is inevitably dependent upon agriculture and its allied fields such as livestock and dairy farming. Dairy farming has a stronghold in the Indian agro-sector and plays an important role, in fact, apart from economic reasons, cattle rearing has a significant standing in the cultural sector as well. As of 2020, despite the pandemic, the dairy sector has continued to boom and increase our nation’s GDP [Gross Domestic Product], with around 4.2% of the total GDP percentage being contributed by our Dairy Sector. Also, it is interesting to note that this sector particularly continues to grow annually at the rate of 4.9%, which is a really good indicator of economic growth and boom. According to the latest research conducted on the total value of the dairy sector of India, the dairy market in India reached a value of 11,357 Billion in the year 2020. There is no turning back and only an upward walk for this sector! In today’s blog let us uncover some of the facts about milk and milk yield and the factors affecting this.

THE MILK FACTOR: SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT MILK.

Milk is defined as a lacteal secretion apart from colostrum obtained via the process of milking healthy cattle. Milk is usually obtained from mammals and is characteristic of this group of animals which includes humans as well. Milk is generally nutritious as it provides nutrition to the young ones since young ones of any animal species are incapable of fending for themselves.

  1. Milk has been considered to be a whole meal or whole food or, in other words, complete food as it has all the goodness and richness of common foodstuffs since it has a good amount of milk proteins, minerals, vitamins, and fat.
  2. Milk has calcium which is an essential nutrient especially important during the growth period as the growth of bones is directly connected to the levels of calcium-phosphorus.
  3. Apart from bones, calcium has a huge role to play in many cellular events at the microscopic level inside the cells, nerves, and muscles.
  4. Milk also contains some essential vitamins such as riboflavin, Vitamin B12, and Vitamin A.
  5. Also, milk is a rich storehouse of minerals such as calcium, as mentioned before, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and zinc which have their specific role tailored inside our cells and body systems.
  6. Milk is also rich in proteins such as casein, milk lipids, or fats, also it has milk solids and lactose sugar, which is essential for energy buildup.

How to increase milk production in cows in India. [Milk Yield]

MILK YIELD: FACTORS & FACTS

Milk yield is defined as the amount of milk obtained annually per cow per year and is usually a good indicator of the milking capacity of that cattle. Milk yield is usually dependent upon many factors, some of which are:

1. Breed

It is said that foreign breed cows yield a higher amount of milk as compared to indigenous breeds, but this thought has been challenged in recent times as the Indigenous cow breed Gir has demonstrated higher milk yield as compared to its foreign counterparts. Yes, breed does play an important role in the milk yield %.

2. Food & Water

Any decrease or abrupt changes in the daily food-water intake has hinted towards a negative deviation of milk yield as milk yield is dependent upon the food-water intake. It is important to note that the average milk yield is related not only to the quantitative basis of food intake but also to the qualitative factors of food intake. Quality of food has the upper hand as compared to the quantity of food. High quality fodder has proven to increase milk yield. Under-feeding cattle causes a drop in lactose % and may reduce the nutritional value of milk as well.

3. Genetic Variations

Now, despite the breed differences, there is an individuality factor which means that no two cows/buffalo would be at the same level of milking and milk yield at the same time throughout the milking season. Yes, they may have similar milk yield, but no two fingers are the same, and this applies to the milk yield of two cattle as well! Even if they belong to the same breed, this is all due to genetic variations and genes.

4. Milking Factors

Milk production increases as the lactation progress and reaches its peak level mid-lactation and then subsequently falls towards the end of lactation. Pregnancy, too, has an inhibitory effect on yield, also, the frequency of milking, the interval of milking, and the completeness of milking all play a pivotal role in milk yield and its fluctuation.

5. Environment and stress factors

Any abrupt changes in the environment, change of location, and transportation has shown to negatively impact milk yield. Also, slight variations and fluctuations in atmospheric temperature have a direct negative effect on milk yield.

6. Diseases

If there are any underlying concurrent diseases affecting the cattle it will inevitably affect the milk yield. Disease conditions such as ketosis, metritis, mastitis, milk fever, hypocalcaemia, retained placenta etc decrease the milk yield and have an overall negative impact on the overall health of the cow.

INTERNAL FACTORS CONTROLLING MILK YIELD.

Milk is produced by the mammary glands of mammals as mentioned before, but it has a complex mechanism behind it. There are certain chemicals in our bodies termed hormones that balance almost all the events occurring inside the body. They also play an important role in regulating various processes and cycles which helps to keep an individual healthy and well-balanced. It is interesting to note that these hormones are connected to external factors, and it can be stated firmly that internal and external factors are co-dependent entities and are not separated from each other. External and internal factors governing the milk yield and associated factors are the two faces of the same coin! Here are some interesting facts about hormones –

  1. Hormones regulate the growth of the body via growth hormones
  2. They aid in sexual functions, right from conception to parturition [birth giving] also, they aid in lactation [milking young new-born babies]
  3. Hormones play an important role in regulating metabolism via thyroid hormones,etc
  4. They also aid in various body systems such as: the digestive system, the immune system, the urinary system, the cardiovascular system,therespiratory and skeletal systems.
  5. Infact, all our organs, tissues and cells are inevitably dependent upon hormonal harmony. Hormones thus help our bodies to function normally, and properly in perfect union with other hormones.

THE HORMONAL HARMONY

Milk production has many facets to it. It is a process that is dependent upon the interplay of hormonal factors, nutritional factors, and neuro-physiological factors. The lactation process is usually dependent on galactopoietic [milk producing] substances or galactopoietic hormones such as prolactin, growth hormones, thyroid hormones, and steroid hormones.

1. Prolactin

This is the primary hormone that is essential for milk production. Every time milk is removed, this hormone gets stimulated to produce more milk. It acts almost as a balancer that responds to milk removed on the one hand and stimulates the production of milk on the other.

2. Growth Hormone

This hormone is essential to maintain lactation as it increases the synthesis of lactose, protein, and fats in mammary glands.

3. Thyroid Hormones

Thyroid hormones stimulate oxygen consumption, protein synthesis and milk yield and are essential for the maximal and optimal production of milk.

4. Oxytocin

Oxytocin hormone is essential for the removal or lets down of milk. Stimulation of the mammary gland via the suckling reflex of the calf is important for milk let down. Oxytocin is released from the hypothalamus and reaches the mammary gland via the blood stream ultimately resulting in milk removal from the glands.

MILK YIELD

Thus, the milk yield is dependent upon external environmental factors as well as internal hormonal and genetic interplay. To increase milk yield, there are many novel approaches as we target the natural system and stimulate milk production.

1. Dietary fix

Diet plays an important role in modulating immunity and health, thus, a few small changes in diets can help. Better fed cows have higher fertility, and improved conception rate and, in turn have a better milk yield as compared to cows fed on poor quality fodder. A good amount of carbohydrates, fats, essential fatty acids, and essential minerals like iron etc. play a pivotal role in the reproductive health of cattle.

2. Hormonal therapy

 Hormone injections or therapies are adopted to keep in check the balance and cyclicity of the patient. It is not generally advised as hormones are a very crucial aspect of the body and are essential for various life processes. A slight change or imbalance in their concentrations may backfire negatively. It’s important to note that hormonal therapy must be initiated or stopped or regulated under the guidance of a veterinary doctor only as these hormones affects the reproductive health as well as various body systems and thus affect milking, milk yield, and overall health of the cow/buffalo.

3. Non-Hormonal Therapy: Homeopathic Approach

MILKOGEN is an excellent Homeopathic Veterinary Medicine used in Cows and Buffaloes to increase milk yield naturally. It is a natural replacer of oxytocin hormone without any contraindications or side effects but with a definite increase in the milk yield. It increases the milk quantity and fat percentage of the milk to the full potential of an animal.

  • MILKOGEN increases the quantity of milk naturally in cows & buffaloes by stimulating the lactating tubules to a maximum level.
  • When MILKOGEN is being used, there is no need for extra calcium supplementation because this medicine itself assimilates calcium from the feed of the animal to a high level.
  • The level of increase in milk is maintained even long after the completion of the MILKOGEN course.
  • A decrease in milk yield due to any underlying chronic illness can also be improved with MILKOGEN thus restoring the normal milk yield.
  • MILKOGEN helps in letting down milk without any hormonal therapy when the calf dies and the animal refuses to give milk.
  • Thus MILKOGEN is the most economical and efficient way of improving the quality and quantity of milk in cows and buffaloes.

Veterinary Spray – GOHEAL SPRAY: Wound And Burns Taking A U-Turn

Pets marvellous creatures, always ready to explore and learn more about their surroundings. They are little balls of energy who are always ready to run off to the fields whenever they get an opportunity to do so. Well, running off to the fields is just a phrase, our pets are usually confined to the house and in most house gardens, right? Well, we all love our pets regardless of species. Cows, buffaloes, small pet animals such as dogs, cats or birdies, no matter what species, we are all deeply connected to them. As much as we adore them, we care for them. There are many instances of them getting scratched, hurt or getting disturbed by wounds and injuries. Let’s have a closer look at some of the commonly seen wound-injury phenomena!In today’s blog, let us understand more about wounds, their types and healing process as well as preventive care and medicinal support which we can offer them to help recover from wounds and injuries faster!

WHAT ARE WOUNDS?

Wounds are basically injuries that cause tears in the skin or other body tissues. For today, let us learn more about skin wounds and injuries. For skin, skin is a barrier that protects the internal environment of the body from the external environment and is a rather tough organ that helps in protecting the internal layers of the body. Skin is also termed as the largest organ as it is present literally everywhere in the body! 

Skin also anchors hair or fur which helps in protecting the body as well as provides insulation to the same. Skin also has certain receptors which help the brain detect the sensations of touch, heat, and cold. However, if the continuity of skin is broken or if there is a tear, or laceration of the skin, we can term it a wound or injury. Injury is basically any tissue, or cell getting damaged due to some or other reasons. For superficial skin wounds, trauma to the skin is the major one. Trauma again could be caused due to either physical or chemical agents. Let us break this down further –

TRAUMA DUE TO PHYSICAL AGENTS:

Physical agents refer to wounds and injuries caused by mechanical agents such as rocks, stones, tree branches, twigs, steel wires, etc. there are endless possibilities of getting wounded by such agents. For example, it is not uncommon to find cats getting seriously injured in a cat fight. They may end up getting scratched or bitten by fellow stray cats and dogs. Dogs, may get bruises and wounds in a similar manner as well. Thus, it is not uncommon for pets to get wounded or bruised.

TRAUMA DUE TO CHEMICAL& BIOLOGICAL AGENTS

Chemical agents such as alkalis and acids can cause burn wounds on the skin and pets as well as strays could get wounded by accident. As far as biological agents are concerned viruses such as foot and mouth disease virus manifest themselves as vesicles around mouth and foot regions and on bursting of these vesicles, they leave a raw open wound which is particularly extremely painful.

TYPES OF WOUNDS

Wounds can be classified as open or closed type depending on the type of injury or trauma. For today, let us focus on the types of external wounds:

  1. Lacerations: These types of wounds are caused by the tearing of tissues that have uneven edges. E.g., Injury due to steel wire
  2. Penetrating Wounds: Deep wounds such as those caused by stab injury or wood stick penetrating the body
  3. Abrasions: These are rather a superficial type of wound [on the skin] which are not deeper than the epidermis. E.g., Skin abrasions.
  4. Bite Wounds: Caused by the bite of an animal such as a snake, dog, etc. immediate medical help is needed.
  5. Virulent Wounds: Wounds caused by infectious agents such as FMD Virus

WHICH SYMPTOMS CAN I OBSERVE?

While mostly, wounds create a sense of pain and hurt, it is usually invisible as our pets cannot communicate with us directly, there are other signs and symptoms which could be manifested in these forms –

  1. Localised bleeding
  2. The area of the wound is sensitive to touch
  3. There is a visible wound that may or may not bleed
  4. There is weakness, paralysis or function loss in that dependent area
  5. There might be febrile disturbances observed
  6. If the nerve or local nerve endings are affected, paresis of that region is well observed phenomenon

HOW DOES A WOUND HEAL?

We all know that nature is the biggest teacher and healer, and it is particularly true when it comes to healing wounds. Let us quickly look through the process through which our bodies heal the wounds:

Wound healing is a complex series of interactions between various cell types, mediators etc. there are 4 steps in the wound healing process ie.

  1. Haemostasis
  2. Inflammation
  3. Proliferation
  4. Remodelling

1. Haemostasis:

when there is a tissue injury, the initial response is haemostasis or stopping the bleeding process. This is brought about by platelets a type of cell in our blood that helps in the clotting process.

2. Inflammation:

Inflammation increases vascular permeability and recruits certain cells such as neutrophils, and monocytes which act as a defense mechanism against the micro-organisms which could be potentially harmful to the body that gained entry via the open wound. There are 5 signs of inflammation, they are-

  • Redness in the area
  • Pain in the area
  • Increased heat in the area
  • Swelling in the affected area
  • Temporary function loss

3. Proliferation and Remodelling of wound:

There is the proliferation of epithelial cells [they form granulation tissue] as well as collagen. Also, new capillary growth occurs in the proliferation phase which is followed by a remodelling phase where new collagen fibres are rearranged forming an organised structure that increases the tensile strength of the wound.

FAST-TRACKING WOUND HEALING

As mentioned above, wounds can heal naturally on their own with the help of the complex cascade of mechanisms our body has. However, it may take anywhere between three days to a weeks’ time to heal depending upon the type of wound and the level of injury. Thus, we always apply certain anti-bacterial healing creams which help our body to cope with trauma and injury thus, healing the wounds rather quickly. Goheal spray (pet wound spray) is one such medicine that helps in treating superficial wounds caused by burns, trauma or FMD- created wounds. GOHEAL SPRAY is the best Homeopathic Veterinary Medicine for external use only to treat animal wounds caused due to any injury, FMD, burns, etc. thus, an added aid to nature, Goheal spray (animal wound spray) helps to fast-track the healing process, which means, there is less pain, less hurt and less time required to heal!

FOOMASULE: Foot And Mouth Disease, Its Existence Shall Cease

Foot and mouth disease in cattle: a disease commonly found in the cattle population in India is endemic in Asian – the African continent. FMD is quite a widespread disease process and is considered to be an important viral disease of ruminants. With strains SAT1, SAT2, SAT 3, ASIA 1, O, A and C, this disease affects both the cattle as well as the Dairy farmer adversely. Cattle’s quality of life along with productive life seriously hampered with around Rs.18,000 – 22,000 Crores loss annually incurred according to a study. India has 528 million FMD-susceptible animals [Pattnaik et al 2012] which includes a wide variety of animals [Ungulates i.e., cloven footed animals] such as cow, buffalo, goat, etc. with the disease being so dangerous and widespread, it is essential to understand more about this disease, how it manifests, how domestic animals get infected, what is the outcome and what is the probable line of treatment for the same. In today’s blog, let us unveil the world of FMD, and some of the FAQs pertaining to it.

SO, WHAT IS FMD OR FOOT & MOUTH DISEASE?

Foot and Mouth disease is a viral disease caused by an aphthous virus of the family Picornaviridae which affects the cloven-footed animal species such as cows, buffaloes, goats, sheep, and pigs, etc. it also affects wildlife such as Bisons, elephants, antelopes and deer being particularly susceptible.Foot and Mouth disease commonly abbreviated as FMD and is locally called मुंहपका-खुरपकारोग in Hindi Local language. This disease manifests itself as vesicles or blisters erupting on foot, udder as well as mouth followed by erosion of the affected areas. Result? Restlessness, excessive salivation, discomfort, drop in milk yield and production, abortion, lameness and drop in fertility. Young animals are particularly badly affected as this virus causes myocarditis [Inflammation of the Myocardium of the Heart] and death. In susceptible populations, the morbidity rate or the infection rate is as high as 100% which means if an infected animal is introduced to the herd or if the susceptible crowd is accidentally exposed to this virus, there is a good chance that almost 100% or the entire herd will inevitably be infected. That’s how unique this disease really is!

WATCH OUT FOR THESE: COMMONLY OBSERVED SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS

Any disease process manifests itself in the form of commonly observed signs and symptoms. FMD especially stands true to its name i.e. The major signs associated with this disease [vesicles/pustules] are located at the foot and mouth region of the cattle. Let us have a look at the other signs and symptoms of FMD:

  1. Increase in body temperature for 2-3 days with an incubation period of this virus is 1-8 days [Signs and Symptoms start flaring up at around Day 3]
  2. Vesicles formation at mouth region, foot, udder
  3. These vesicles may rupture further causing erosion and leaving a raw scar behind.
  4. Drooling of sticky, foamy and stringy saliva from the mouth
  5. Reduction in food consumption [as these lesions are painful post rupturing] which makes the animal refuse to feed and water.
  6. Immunity inevitably falls down due to the ongoing viral infection
  7. Lameness and weakness
  8. Loss of body weight which is caused by both the ongoing infection as well as secondary anorexia
  9. Young animals affected by the FMD virus suffer worse. Myocarditis and death are very rampant in young ones.
  10. Production related signs are observed as well. These are:
    • Drop in milk yield
    • Abortions
    • Reduced capacity of milking
    • Infertility
    • The fertility rate goes downhill
    • Recovered cows still show lower milk yield as compared to the pre-infection yield rate

FMD TREATMENT IN CATTLE

PREVENTION IS BETTER THAN CURE: HOW TO PREVENT FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE IN CATTLE?

It is essential to realise that FMD is a viral disease and it spreads through aerosols, contaminated fomites [milking equipment, infected handling instruments, clothing, shoes, transport vehicles] could potentially be the vehicle for disease particulates. Infected food and water too can potentially spread the disease further. This gives us an idea, of how this virus can potentially aggravate and spread from one farm to another creating an atmosphere of chaos and causing heavy losses to farmers and animal health.

That being said, FMD is a dangerous disease that can spread rather quickly, causing morbidity or infection at a much higher rate than anticipated, however, this disease can be easily prevented by-

1. Vaccination

Vaccinate your farm animals on time. Vaccines are an efficient tool for protecting and safeguarding cattle from the threat of viral diseases such as FMD. The vaccination schedule of FMD is as follows:

1st dose of the vaccine- To be given at the age of 4 Months and above

2nd dose [Booster Dose] -To be given 1 month post the previous dose

Subsequent Dose – every 6 months to annually.

2. Ensure proper cleanliness and sanitation

Sanitation is an important step which should never be overlooked or ignored. Not just FMD, but there are many diseases and infections which flare up given the poor sanitation protocols or poor managemental practices. Having good managemental practices and sanitation protocol is critical for the health management of both: animals as well as animal handlers or dairy farmers.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Ensure cleanliness of the cattle [Medicated or Routine Bath as indicated, proper grooming schedule, timely cleaning of urine, dung etc]
  • Ensure cleanliness of milking apparatus [All milking apparatus must be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized prior to milk collection]
  • Ensure the cleanliness of farm helpers or persons who are milking the cattle. [Hands, and feet must be thoroughly washed prior to milking, clean clothing is a must]
  • Ensure that the dairy farm is well protected. All vehicles entering the farm must be sanitized properly.

3. Boosting immunity

Immunity is the key to survival. Yes, Immunity has been playing a crucial role in protecting our bodies from harmful foreign pathogens such as viruses, bacteria etc. Immunity can be boosted by various techniques such as good quality ration, stress-free and healthy lifestyle, immune-modulators, etc. Do check out our blog on immunity as well to learn more about immunity and its role.

WHAT IF THERE IS AN FMD OUTBREAK?

So, in case, there is an FMD outbreak nearby, there lies a threat that your farm could come under the clutches of this viral outbreak. So how do we protect our beloved cattle? Answer- by following strict sanitation protocols. Novel Homeopathic drug Foomasule No 1. It is an efficient tool to protect your cattle in case of an FMD outbreak nearby. Foomasule No.1 gives immunity against all strains of the FMD virus and develops resistance within 48 hours to 72 hours. It is effective even in conditions where there is a constraint of separating diseased animals from the herd.

FIGHTING FMD:

If there is an FMD outbreak on your farm, it is important to isolate the infected animals and protect the ones who are immunologically competent. For affected animals, the treatment is usually symptomatic which includes, saline [if there is prolonged anorexia and weakness], antibiotics to prevent any secondary infections, vitamins and treating the local lesions. Along with conventional therapy, Foomasule no 2 is a homeopathic drug that helps combat this war against the foot & mouth disease virus. Foomasule No.2 responds against all strains of infections and cures mouth lesions, and the animal starts grazing as soon as possible. There is reduced salivation which corresponds to the start of the recovery phase. The foot lesions start drying up faster, preventing any exogenous growth between footpads.

ABORTIGO: No Tension Of Abortion in Cow

India as a developing nation still relies on its ancient roots to date. Agriculture, and dairy farming continue to stay at the epicentre of this nation’s growth and progress sector. People here have a great connection with India’s rich history and culture, where cows & cattle are given eminent position in society as they support not only the farmers’ family but also many households through milk, milk products [nutrition] and contributes to farming as well in the form of farming aid. The dairy industry is one of the leading industries that contribute greatly to the Indian economy. As of 2020, despite the pandemic, the dairy sector has continued to boom and increase our nation’s GDP [Gross Domestic Product] with around 4.2% of the total GDP percentage being contributed by our Dairy Sector. Also, it is interesting to note that this sector particularly continues to grow annually at the rate of 4.9% which is a really good indicator of economic growth and boom. According to the latest research conducted on the total value of the dairy sector of India, the dairy market in India reached a value of 11,357 billion in the year 2020. That being said, there is a symbiotic environment, where the milch animals provide farmers with milk, and the farmer provides them with good facilities such as food, shelter etc. supporting each other’s livelihoods. One of the grave obstacles which may stand firmly in the way of dairy farmers and cattle is abortion. Abortion being both a physically and mentally difficult process for the cattle it does significantly affect the cattle-farmer as well who is dependent upon milk and its products for their livelihoods. Today, let us understand more about abortion, the cause-effect and the outcomes, treatment, and preventive measures for the same.

ABORTION: CAUSES & REASONS

Abortion refers to the termination of pregnancy after organogenesis is complete but before the expelled foetus can survive. It is the loss of an embryo during pregnancy that is not a favourable event and it does have a wide variety of reasons which culminates into this unfortunate event. Let us try to understand the reasons or causes of abortion –

Broadly, abortion -causes can be divided into two broad categories –

A] INFECTIOUS CAUSES:

Infection refers to different bacterial and viral pathogens which infect the bodytriggering the disease process. There is a wide range of bacterial and viral agents that propagate and affect the reproductive tract leading to reproductive-tract related diseases and conditions such as reproductive failure, localised infectionsand abortion in pregnant cattle.

1. Blue Tongue Virus

Caused by Orbivirus having 24 serotypes, this virus is transmitted via biting midges such as Cullicoides spp. Abortion, mummification of the foetus, the birth of a live foetus with severe CNS [brain] malformations, and stillbirth are common features of this.

2. BVD Virus [Bovine Viral Diarrhoea]

BVDV or bovine viral diarrhoea virus is one of the most common agents causing an abortion in cattle. It is transmitted via a number of ways –

  1. It can be transmitted via the placenta [from mother to foetus]
  2. It can be transmitted via fomites [infected objects/ transport objects etc.]
  3. It can be transmitted via direct contact with an infected animal

Of these, lets focus on the placental transmission of BVDV.

As this virus has the ability to be transmitted via the placenta to the growing foetus, it can cause foetal death and abortion, malformed foetus, still-birth or some cows may even deliver the foetus despite being infected. When infected during the organogenesis process [when organs are being developed in the foetus] it can cause serious developmental anomalies such as cerebellar hypoplasia, hydrocephalus, spinal cord hypoplasia, etc.).

3. Brucella

This bacterium – brucella abortus, is quite a notorious bacteria and abortion is the prime feature. This Is a zoonotic disease as well! The organisms enter via the mucous membranes and tend to invade the uterus, triggering inflammation of the placenta [termed placentitis] in pregnant animals which may be acute or chronic in nature. Abortion occurs at around 2 weeks to 5 months after the initial infection.

4. Campylobacter

This bacterium causes venereal diseases and tends to cause abortion, and still-birth between 4-8 months of pregnancy are transmitted by ingestion and subsequently spread via the blood to the placenta. This too is one of the diseases having zoonotic nature.

5. Other infectious agents causing abortion are:

  1. IBR [infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis
  2. Chlamydia
  3. Leptospira
  4. Listeria
  5. Fungi such as Trichomonas, Neospora, etc.

B] NON-INFECTIOUS CAUSES:

Apart from infectious agents such as those mentioned above, there are certain reasons which can directly or indirectly cause abortion. One of the causes is Genetic variation. Some cattle carrying lethal genes can cause early embryonic death or abortion. This is generally a very rare phenomenon. Nutritional deficiency can also cause a variety of disorders and reproductive tract dysfunction including reproduction failure. Vitamin A, Vitamin E, selenium, and iron have a crucial role to play in reproductive health and have been implicated in cases of abortion.

The environment also plays a key role in the optimal overall health of cattle. This includes atmospheric temperature as well. Excessive heat or cold can trigger stress and cause a wide range of physical issues, for example, heat stress or high atmospheric temperature can cause foetal death, also, high maternal body temperature also contributes to this. Trauma or accidents too may cause abortion despite the embryo being well protected by foetal membranes.

Ingestion of toxic plants or pesticides or herbicide laden plants can essentially trigger a series of ill effects including severe health complications both for the cow as well as her foetus. For example, c mycotoxins having estrogenic activity may lead to abortion.

DIAGNOSTICS:

Diagnostics are usually evident by a history of abortion or failure to observe pregnancy progression despite being artificially inseminated or mated. There are tests such as per-rectal examination, and ultra-sonography technique that can be adopted by the veterinarian depending upon the case and need of the hour. Checking blood progesterone levels too can aid in establishing the diagnosis. Usually, diagnosis is based on history. The farmer may observe abortion which may give a clear idea about the ongoing issue. In case, abortion has not been observed, failure of conception or failure to observe pregnancy progression continues to be the top indicator of some ongoing reproductive tract related disorders that need to be promptly checked.

Treatment of Abortion in Cattle

CARE & TREATMENT

Yes, this event is rather unfortunate and difficult for both farmers as ell as the cattle, it is very important to shift our focus on two things – One: to offer the utmost care and Two: to provide the utmost medical assistance.

1. Offering utmost care

If your cattle have been selected to breed and conceive, proper care must be taken a right from the time of conception. In fact, proper nutrition, care etc should be prioritised a few weeks to a month prior to mating as it helps the body to prepare well and the pregnancy is smoother than anticipated. For cattle who are pregnant, care must be taken that they are not coming in contact with infectious materials or infection-carrying cattle. Also, they must be well-fed to prevent them from grazing out and eating random plants which may or may not be toxic. For recently aborted cattle, proper veterinary help must be sought out to help plan the next steps: i.e.,Treating the cause of abortion and helping the cattle out to prepare them for future conception.

2. Providing Medical Assistance

Medical assistance does not always refer to medicines or drugs but it also involves other parameters such as nutrition, supplements, etc. medicine should have a 360-degree approach and it definitely consists of lifestyle alterations as well as certain changes in feeding habits.

Dietary fixes and proper nutrition play an important role in modulating immunity and health, thus, a few small changes in diets can help. Better fed cows have higher fertility rates and improved conception rates and in turn have a smooth pregnancy period with minimal risk of abortions and better milk yield as compared to cows kept on poor quality fodder/ration. A good amount of carbohydrates, fats, essential fatty acids, and essential minerals like iron etc. play a pivotal role in the reproductive health of cattle.

Also, a novel homeopathic approach for this case is ABORTIGO which is an advanced Homoeopathic Veterinary Medicinal formulation for calving animals to prevent and treat abortions of any underlying cause to save the life of mother and child. It is used to prevent abortions of any underlying cause without any side effects or contraindications and helps in retaining uterine tonicity by stimulating hormones and nourishing the uterine muscles through increased metabolism of calcium and other minerals. It also acts as preventive medicine for habitual abortions by increasing immunity against all major infectious diseases which threaten the life of the fetus and also the mother.
