Supports dairy cattle that are slow to cycle, not cycling or experiencing reproductive challenges.
Non-Cycling DC for cycling and fertility support in dairy cattle
Non-Cycling DC is a homeopathic blend traditionally used to support dairy cattle that are not cycling, cycling irregularly or showing signs of reduced reproductive activity. It is often selected as part of mating preparation programmes to support fertility and breeding performance.
Information
Support for cows that are slow to cycle
Achieving strong conception rates starts well before mating begins. Cows that are slow to cycle or fail to show obvious heats can significantly impact herd reproductive performance and compact calving patterns.
Non-Cycling DC is traditionally used where cows appear slow to return to normal reproductive activity following calving or where cycling is delayed leading into mating.
When might Non-Cycling DC be considered?
Non-Cycling DC is traditionally used where dairy cattle are showing signs associated with:
- Delayed cycling
- Failure to cycle
- Irregular heat cycles
- Silent heats
- Reduced reproductive activity
- Poor breeding performance
- Difficulty detecting heats
- Delayed return to cycling following calving
- Suboptimal reproductive performance
- Cows not presenting for mating
Supporting mating performance
Good cycling activity is essential for successful mating programmes. Early identification and management of non-cycling animals can improve breeding outcomes and reduce the number of empty cows at the end of the season.
Non-Cycling DC is often incorporated into mating preparation programmes alongside good nutrition, body condition management and reproductive monitoring.
Supporting cows after calving
The transition from calving to mating is an important period for reproductive recovery. Animals that recover well and return to normal cycling activity are generally better positioned for successful breeding.
Non-Cycling DC may be used as part of a broader reproductive management programme during the weeks leading up to mating.
Common situations where Non-Cycling DC may be used
Farmers may choose Non-Cycling DC for:
- Delayed cycling before mating
- Herd mating programmes
- Poor submission rates
- Silent heats
- Cows slow to return to cycling after calving
- Repeat reproductive challenges
- Breeding preparation
- Fertility support programmes
Easy administration on farm
Non-Cycling DC 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
- Easy to incorporate into normal farm routines
For herd support, the remedy can be added directly to water troughs or administered during routine handling.

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:
Folliculinum, Pulsatilla, Sepia 30c
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.
