| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
"A portion of the fetal membranes hang from the vulva 12 hours or more even after the expulsion of the foetus. Anorexia and depression may develop. A foetid odour develops since the placenta begins to macerate after 24 hours of fetal expulsion." https://agritech.tnau.ac.in/expert_system/cattlebuffalo/Obstetrics%20and%20Gynecological%20conditions.html#:~:text=Symptoms-,Clinical%20symptoms,24%20hours%20of%20foetal%20expulsion. |
| Disease Description |
A placental disease is any disease, disorder, or pathology of the placenta. Ischemic placental disease leads to the attachment of the placenta to the uterine wall to become under-perfused, causing uteroplacental ischemia. |
| Disease Control |
"Trimming of excess tissue that is objectionable to animal handlers and contributes to gross contamination of the genital tract is permissible. Untreated cows expel the membranes in 2-11 days, with 40% of cases requiring no treatment. Early use of antibiotics may also slow down the release of the membrane - https://www.thecattlesite.com/diseaseinfo/232/retained-placenta |
| Disease Prevention |
"Having your cows in proper body condition, with good nutrition and good health are the best prevention. “An abortion or early calf is probably the highest risk for retained placenta,” says Daly. “Twins often come a bit early, and even when they don't come early, twins are another reason a cow might retain the placenta." https://www.tsln.com/news/veterinarians-now-recommend-leaving-a-retained-placenta-alone-to-avoid-harming-uterus/ |
| Precautions |
|
| Procedure of Use |
After parturition, if the animal does not expel the placenta in time or if retention is prolonged, it may cause adverse effect on health of the animal which may become edgy. As a remedy, Punjabhai Vala of village Khambhalia of district Amreli of Gujarat, extract the juice of 15 to 20 young tender leaves of banyan tree (Ficus benghalensis), in which 500 g flour of pearl millet (Pennisetum typhoides) is mixed and one liter of milk is added to the mixture. This mixture is drenched to the affected animal with the help of drenching pipe. This treamtent expels the placenta in four to five hours. Thus, the animal is cured of the problem.
It is a traditional practice famous in this region. |
