Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs
Disease Description	Bovine prolapsed uterus refers to the abnormal positioning of the bovine uterus after calving. It is most common in dairy cattle and can occur in beef cows occasionally with hypocalcaemia. It is not as commonly seen in heifers, but occasionally can be seen in dairy heifers and most commonly Herefords. Uterine prolapse is considered a medical emergency which puts the cow at risk of shock or death by blood loss. It is common for a complete uterine prolapse where the uterine horns also come out. When this happens, the uterus will hang below the hocks of the animal. When the uterus hangs below the hocks, the cow may lie on, step on or kick the exposed tissue, which increases the risk of rupturing a major artery. The uterus can become easily infected as it bruises easily and can become covered with manure. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bovine_prolapsed_uterus)

Procedure of Use	Gokalbhai Rabari uses barley (Hordeum vulgare) and water to cure cows and buffalos suffering from prolapse of uterus. He grinds two kilograms of barley into a fine powder and soaks the flour in water for 10 hours. This barley gruel is then fed to the cattle. The medication has a cooling effect on the animal and its uterus regains its usual position. Gokalbhai has developed the medication on his own. Many other villagers in Surendranagar have also adopted the method.
