Efficacy evaluation of herbal oral liquid in improving the uterine health and augmenting reproductive performance in dairy cows

A total of 34 cows, out of which 10 cows were in late gestation and the remaining 24 cows with a history of retained placenta and abnormal lochial discharge, were selected for the purpose of study. The 10 cows in late gestation were placed in the control group. Group T0 (n=10) was kept as control and not given any treatment. Group T1 (n=6) was treated with Exapar liquid (M/S Ayurvet Limited) at the rate of 100ml twice on first day followed by 50ml twice daily for another 3-5 days. Group T2 (n=6) was treated with Exapar N (M/S Ayurvet Limited) liquid at the rate of 50 ml twice on the first day followed by 25ml twice daily for another 3-5 days. Group T3 (n=6) was treated with Brand A at the rate of 200 ml once daily on first day followed by 100 ml once daily for next three days. Group T4 (n=6) was treated with Brand B at the rate of 100ml twice on first day followed by 100ml once daily for next 3 days. Parameters viz. type of parturition, nature of lochial discharge, placental condition, time required for expulsion of placenta were evaluated. Results revealed that number of cases of distocia significantly dropped in the Exapar liquid treated group compared to the rest, ROP cases were significantly less in the Exapar N treated group as compared to control, conception rate significantly higher in the Exapar liquid and Exapar N treated groups. Thus it can be inferred that Exapar and Exapar N are efficacious uterine cleansers which also help to increase conception rate.
