Information
Homeopathic support for shock, fear and stress in dairy cattle
Stress can affect all classes of dairy livestock, including milking cows, calves, replacement heifers, bulls, dairy goats and dairy sheep. Sudden stress events may impact behaviour, appetite, recovery and overall resilience.
Aconite 30c is traditionally used when symptoms appear suddenly following a frightening or stressful event. Farmers often keep it on hand during periods of increased management pressure, transport, severe weather or major changes in routine.
When might Aconite be considered?
Aconite is traditionally used where dairy cattle are showing signs associated with:
- Sudden fear or fright
- Emotional trauma or shock
- Stress following transport
- Anxiety after handling procedures
- Distress associated with weather events
- Restlessness or nervous behaviour
- Sudden changes in temperament
- Early signs of illness
- Withdrawal from the herd
- Reduced confidence following a stressful event
Common situations where Aconite may be used
Farmers may choose Aconite during:
- Transport and trucking
- Yarding and drafting
- Introduction to new environments
- Sudden weather changes
- Thunderstorms
- Veterinary procedures
- Calving-related stress
- Weaning and management changes
- Movement between sheds, paddocks or grazing blocks
It is often selected at the start of a problem, when animals appear fearful, anxious, or affected by a recent stressful experience.
Supporting dairy herd resilience
Maintaining calm, settled animals is an important part of overall herd performance and wellbeing. Stress can influence feed intake, milk production, recovery and behaviour across all classes of dairy livestock.
Used alongside good management practices, observation and nutrition, Aconite 30c may be incorporated into a broader herd health programme to support animals during challenging periods.
Easy administration on farm
Aconite is designed for practical use in dairy farming systems.
- Spray directly onto the nose or vulva during milking
- Add to drinking water
- Add to feed where appropriate
- Suitable for individual animals or herd-wide use

How to use
All Agripathics remedies are provided in liquid form, as this has proven to be the most practical and effective method of administration across species.
Individual Use:
For optimal absorption, remedies are best applied to a mucus membrane. In dairy cows, this typically means the nose or vulva. During milking, the vulva offers a convenient access point. A suggested approach is to spray 3–4 times per dose, ideally at three intervals: when the cow enters the shed, when cups are put on, and again at cup removal. This spacing allows for a minimum five-minute interval between applications, supporting consistent uptake and response.
For other farm animals, placing the remedy directly into the mouth or via food or water is generally the most effective method.
Group Use:
For herd-wide support, remedies can be added to the water trough. Adding 1–2 capfuls ensures that each animal receives a dose with every drink, allowing for repeated exposure throughout the day.

Ingredients
Homeopathic Ingredient:
Aconite 30c
Base Composition:
Formulated in a liquid base of ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base:
This product is preserved using certified organic ethanol derived from cane or wheat sources. The ethanol concentration is maintained at a gentle 10%, supporting product stability while remaining suitable for routine administration.
Ethanol and Dairy Cow Administration:
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most livestock tolerate this well. It can be easily administered orally, applied to the vulva, or added to feed or water. For animals with known sensitivity or cautious administration, the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense the drops into the feed and allow them to stand for 20 minutes before offering.
-
Dilute in a small volume of water and allow to stand for 20 minutes before administration.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our ethanol base reflects this commitment—organic, clean, and carefully balanced to align with the needs of production animals.
