Caulophyllum 200c for retained afterbirth / placenta and calving support in dairy cattle
Caulophyllum 200c is a homeopathic remedy traditionally used to support dairy cattle experiencing retained afterbirth, difficult calving and reproductive recovery following birth. It is commonly selected around calving to support normal expulsion of the placenta and recovery of the reproductive system.
Information
Support for retained afterbirth and calving recovery in dairy cattle
Calving places significant demands on the reproductive system. While most cows recover well following birth, some may experience retained afterbirth, delayed placental expulsion or slow reproductive recovery.
Caulophyllum 200c is traditionally used as part of a post-calving management programme and is commonly selected where reproductive recovery and uterine health are important considerations.
When might Caulophyllum 200c be considered?
Caulophyllum 200c is traditionally used where dairy cattle are showing signs associated with:
- Retained afterbirth
- Retained placenta
- Difficult calving
- Assisted calving
- Delayed placental expulsion
- Reproductive recovery following calving
- Weak uterine tone
- Post-calving reproductive challenges
- Recovery after strenuous labour
- General calving support
Supporting cows during and after calving
The calving period is one of the most critical stages of the dairy production cycle. Prompt recovery helps support future fertility, milk production and overall herd performance.
Caulophyllum 200c is often selected before and after calving as part of a broader reproductive management programme.
Supporting reproductive recovery
Successful reproductive recovery following calving is important for achieving strong conception rates later in the season. Animals that recover efficiently are generally better positioned to return to normal cycling and breeding activity.
Caulophyllum 200c may be incorporated into a comprehensive calving and post-calving programme alongside good nutrition, monitoring and management practices.

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:
Caulophyllum 200c
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base
Our remedies are preserved using human‑grade undenatured ethanol, selected for its purity and suitability across species. The gentle 10% concentration supports product stability while remaining appropriate for routine use with companion animals, birds, horses, and livestock.
Ethanol and Animal Administration
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most animals tolerate this well, and remedies may be administered orally, added to feed or water, or applied topically depending on species and context.
For animals with known sensitivity - or when cautious administration is preferred - the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense drops into feed and allow to stand for 20 minutes before offering
-
Dilute in a small volume of warm water and allow to stand for 20 minutes prior to administration
These methods allow partial ethanol evaporation while preserving the integrity of the active ingredients.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our undenatured ethanol base reflects this commitment - clean, balanced, and suitable for diverse species, from household companions to performance and production animals.
FAQ's
Is ethanol safe for animals? Yes. Our remedies use a very small amount of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%), which is widely accepted as safe for routine use across species.
Why is ethanol used in the remedies? Ethanol acts as a gentle preservative, helping maintain stability and potency over time. It also supports the integrity of homeopathic preparations.
Can sensitive animals still take the remedy? Absolutely. For animals with known sensitivity, drops can be added to feed or diluted in warm water and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This allows partial evaporation while keeping the remedy effective.
Will my animal taste the ethanol? Most animals show no reaction at all. When added to food or water, the taste is minimal to undetectable.
