Retained Placenta

A Postpartum Challenge That Threatens Fertility

Retained placenta—a condition where the afterbirth is not expelled within 12 hours of calving—is a common yet serious postpartum issue in dairy animals. It can lead to uterine infections, reduced fertility, and delayed milk production recovery if not addressed promptly.
While manual removal is sometimes practiced, it often introduces further trauma or infection risks. A gentle, internal-cleansing remedy like Metra-Cure offers a safer, science-backed approach rooted in homeopathy.

Common Causes of Retained Placenta:

  • Difficult or assisted calving
  • Weak uterine contractions
  • Nutritional imbalances (e.g., selenium or vitamin E deficiency)
  • Infections or metabolic diseases
  • Advanced age or history of RP

"We had two crossbred cows retain placenta after calving. Earlier, we used to struggle with manual removal and antibiotics. With Metra-Cure, both cows passed the placenta within 48 hours without complications. Their next heat cycle was also regular!"
