| 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 fetid odour develops since the placenta begins to macerate after 24 hours of foetal 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 per cent 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 |
Retention of placenta condition is a painful disorder of female animal in which it fails to expel the placenta
after calving is through. The animal remains feverish, confines itself to one place and discharges blood and stinking matter with urine.
For treatment of this condition, Ramanbhai Bamaniya, a farmer and animal doctor from Dahod district of Gujarat soaks 100 g pulp of leaves and 200 g crushed roots both of palmyra palm (Borassus flabellifer) in water. He filters the solution after some time and administers this to the animal in one dose. He drenches the second dose if required. This induces the animal to expel the placenta.
(The practice is rechecked by Purshottam B Patel in June 2004. Information gathered on rechecking : Ramanbhai, an experienced farmer of more than 80 years of age has passed away but his son Kachrabhai follows the tradition and legacy of his father). |
