"Farmer Harjibhai of district Dahod treat uterine prolapse in cattle. Prolapse of uterus in animal occurs after delivery, to get rid of this problem, 100 g flowers of simla tree are crushed with some water in it. This 100 g prepared medicine is given to the affected animal. So prepared, 100 g concoction is enough for cow, buffalo or goat to prevent prolapse of uterus." |

| Disease Symptoms / Clinical Signs |
The mucosal surface of uterus - with its cotyledons - is visible and part of the chorioallantois may still be attached |
| Disease Description |
Prolapse of the uterus is a common complication of the third stage of labour in the cow. In the ruminant species the prolapse is generally a complete inversion of the gravid cornu, while in the sow and the bitch inversion is generally partial and comprises one horn only. The occurrence seems to be affected by seasonal as well as regional factors, the condition being commoner in some years and in some localities. Multigravida (of the dairy breeds) are more often involved than are heifers. In the majority of
instances the prolapse occurs within a few hours of an otherwise normal second-stage labour, although in some it may be delayed several days. In the latter group the condition is generally associated with a grossly protracted and assisted labour. Rarely, where delivery is achieved by heavy traction, the uterus prolapses immediately after
the calf is withdrawn. |
| Disease Control |
|
| Disease Prevention |
There is no way to completely prevent uterine prolapse. To reduce the risk of uterine prolapse, cows are returned to a standing position and encouraged to move around as soon as possible. This is especially important in cases where a calf is pulled to assist the mother. A cow that is returned to an upright position drops the uterus back into the abdominal cavity which straightens out the uterine horns |
| Precautions |
Maintain sanitary conditions in herd. Isolation of affected animals from healthy animals |
| Procedure of Use |
When cattle is suffering from retention of uterine mass, first of all remove the outu shre of Allium ceps and make juice of it. Add jaggery to it and give it cattle he has learnt this practice from forefather. |
| Etiology Causative Agent |
The cause of prolapse of the uterus is not clear, but there is no doubt that it occurs during the third stage of labour, within a few hours of the expulsion of the calf, and at a time when some of the fetal cotyledons have separated from the maternal caruncles. |
| Global Context |
Uterine prolapse spreads worldwide in cattle. |
| Lesson Implication |
|
| Other Medications / Treatments |
Replacing fluids and electrolytes (such as sodium, potassium, magnesium, and chloride). Oral rehydration therapy. Antibiotics. Remove the placenta or its remnants from the cotyladons- if it separates easily. If its not, leave it attached. Repair any gross damage such as tearing using an absorbable suture. Reducing the size of prolapse. |
