The periparturient period, spanning the time just before and after calving, is a physiologically demanding phase in the life of dairy animals. Despite advancements in animal husbandry, calving-related complications remain a major cause of productivity loss, veterinary costs, and reproductive inefficiency.

Understanding Calving-Related Complications

Dairy farmers often face a spectrum of challenges post-calving. These complications can be grouped into three major categories:

1. Uterus-Related Disorders

• Retention of Placenta (ROP) – Increases risk of infection and delays uterine recovery
• Improper Lochial Discharge – Hampers uterine cleansing
• Metritis, Endometritis, Pyometra – Severe uterine infections with systemic impacts

2. Mineral Deficiency-Related Disorders

• Hypocalcemia (Milk Fever) – Common in high-yielding cows, leading to muscle weakness and uterine inertia
• Hypophosphatemia – Impairs energy metabolism and appetite
• Hypomagnesemia – Triggers neuromuscular dysfunction and stress response

3. Energy Deficiency-Related Disorders

• Negative Energy Balance (NEB) – Occurs when energy demand exceeds intake
• Subclinical and Clinical Ketosis – Leads to reduced milk yield, appetite loss, and increased disease susceptibility

What the Market Needs: A Single Solution for Multiple Problems

Traditional treatment protocols involve using separate formulations for each condition, ecbolics for uterine cleansing, minerals for metabolic support, and energy sources for ketosis. This fragmented approach delays response and increases the cost of treatment.

Introducing: UTEROTONE 3 IN 1

"Essential Support for Pre-Calving & Post-Calving Period in Dairy Animals"

UTEROTONE 3 IN 1 is a scientifically formulated, broad-spectrum solution that synergistically integrates:

1. Ecbolic Herbs
2. Minerals & Vitamins
3. Carbohydrate Precursors

This triple-action formula supports smooth parturition, faster recovery, and improved reproductive outcomes

1. Ecbolic Herbs: ‍

UTEROTONE 3IN1 contains potent ecbolic herbs standardized for phytoestrogenic and uterotonic activity. These herbs offer multiple therapeutic benefits:

• Stimulates Uterine Contractions – Facilitates timely placenta expulsion.
• Ensures Complete Uterine Cleansing – Promotes lochial discharge and prevents residue accumulation
• Accelerates Uterine Involution – Helps restore reproductive tone for future conception
• Prevents Infections – Offers antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action against metritis, endometritis, and pyometra
• Modulates Immunity – Boosts uterine defense via immunomodulatory phytoconstituents
• Analgesic & Antipyretic Effects – Reduces postpartum pain and fever naturally

2. Minerals & Vitamins: Correcting Metabolic Imbalances

The formulation provides bioavailable sources of:

• Calcium – To prevent milk fever and support muscular activity
• Phosphorus – Aids in energy metabolism and feed intake post-calving
• Magnesium – Prevents neuromuscular stress and supports enzymatic function
• Vitamin D – Enhances calcium and phosphorus utilization

These components correct hidden deficiencies and restore metabolic balance in the critical calving window

3. Carbohydrate Precursors: Combating Energy Deficit & Ketosis

UTEROTONE 3 IN 1 is enriched with easily absorbable glucogenic precursors that:

• Improve glucose availability during early lactation
• Prevent Negative Energy Balance (NEB)
• Reduce the risk of subclinical and clinical ketosis
• Support milk yield and reproductive efficiency

Usage Guidelines

Cattle (Cow/Buffalo)

• Peri-Parturient: 300 ml just before calving, then 300 ml after 12 hours. Repeat 300 ml/day for 2–4 days
  
• Post-Parturient: 300 ml twice on the day of calving, followed by 300 ml/day for 2–4 days

Small Ruminants (Ewe/Doe)

• Peri-Parturient: 50 ml just before kidding/lambing, followed by 50 ml after 12 hours. Repeat 50 ml/day for 2–4 days
  
• Post-Parturient: 50 ml twice on the day of kidding/lambing, followed by 50 ml/day for 2–4 days

        (Or as advised by a veterinarian or nutritionist)

Conclusion: 

One Product. Triple Action. Complete Care.

UTEROTONE 3 IN 1 is more than a supplement, it’s a strategic tool for veterinarians and dairy farmers to ensure smooth calving, prevent metabolic crashes, and restore reproductive health in dairy animals.

From placenta expulsion to ketosis prevention, UTEROTONE 3 IN 1 delivers it all
