Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs
Disease Description Retained placenta (RP) is also known as retained foetal membrane or retained cleansing. RP occurs when the calf’s side of the placenta (the fetal membranes) fails to separate from the mother’s side. Separation of the membranes normally occurs after the calf is born (early separation is one cause of stillbirth). RP is usually defined as the failure to expel fetal membranes within 24 hr after parturition. (https://www.thecattlesite.com/diseaseinfo/232/retained-placenta/)

Precautions
Procedure of Use "When there is retention of placenta in a cow or buffalo after parturition, Arjanbhai Rabari treats it with a solution made from the bark of drumstick (Moringa oleifera) . First he prepares a decoction by taking 500 gram drumstick bark, a handful of white emetic nut or dillseed (Anethum graveolens) and 700 millilitre water. This mixture is vigourously boiled. After cooling, the decoction is drenched twice to the suffering cow or buffalo. The medication results in the release of placenta. This is a traditional practice."
