PAS_1	Mahua (Madhucalongifolia), whose fruit is used in the Vidarbha region for treating malarial fever in cattle. Liquor from the flower is used in western Maharashtra for a prolapsed uterus. (Herbs to heal cattle) (https://www.downtoearth.org.in/news/herbs-to
PAS_2	In cows, treatment involves removing the placenta (if still attached), thoroughly cleaning the endometrial surface, and repairing any lacerations. Rubbing the surface of the uterus with glycerol helps reduce edema and provides lubrication. The uterus is then returned to its normal position. An epidural anesthetic should be administered first. If the cow is standing, the cleansed uterus should be elevated to the level of the vulva on a tray or hammock supported by assistants, and then replaced by applying steady pressure beginning at the cervical portion (or at the level of the invagination of the nonprolapsed uterine horn) and gradually working toward the apex. Once the uterus is replaced, a hand should be inserted to the tip of both uterine horns to be sure there is no remaining invagination that could incite abdominal straining and another prolapse. Installation of warm, sterile saline solution is useful to ensure complete replacement of the tip of the uterine horn without trauma. If recumbent, the cow should be positioned with the hindquarters elevated by placing her in sternal recumbency with the hindlegs extended backward. When elevating the hindquarters of the cow, care should be taken to lift the prolapsed uterus with the hindquarters to prevent stretching and laceration of the uterine artery.

Precautions	Uterine prolapse commonly occurs within 2-24 h of calving yet it rarely occurs up to 72 h of calving[3]. In a study on cows, uterine prolapse was observed within 6 days following parturition in the majority (95.45%) of the animals [46] http://www.apjr.net/article.asp?issn=2305-0500;year=2018;volume=7;issue=6;spage=241;epage=247;aulast=Purohit#ref46
Procedure of Use	"In the condition of prolapse of uterus in the female animal, farmer Tanubhai Galia from village Khijadia, district Amreli of Gujarat first massages paste of gram (Cicer arietinum) flour and water on the prolapse. He then rubs it with ice while gently pushing the prolapse in place.This medicine is used in 6 to 7 households of the innovator."
