INVOLON
A new generation uterine tonic & ecbolic with high phytochemical actives
 
  STUDIES REVEAL..........  
       
  LAB STUDIES :  
       
  1) Myometrial Contraction :  
  OBJECTIVES : To assess the action of INVOLON in inducing myometrial contractions.
       
 
Uterine horn from diethyl stilbesterol primed rat was mounted in an isolated organ bath. The isolated uterus was allowed to equilibrate for 30 minutes and exposed to submaximal dose of oxytocin 0.1 ml. (0.05 I.U) & later INVOLON solution 5% - 0.1 ml. & 0.05 ml. The magnitude of uterine contractions were recorded. It was observed that 2.5 mg. of INVOLON was equivalent to 0.05 I.U. of oxytocin in terms of magnitude of uterine contractions.
       
  2) Uterotonic Effect :  
  OBJECTIVES : To evaluate uterotonic activity of INVOLON.
       
 

To assess the dose response curve and to arrive at most suitable dose having maximum response & extrapolating the same  to cattle dosage.

At 12th day of pregnancy, female rats were treated with INVOLON at different dose rate starting from 5 mg to 40 mg / kg rat body weight for 3 consecutive days. On 17th day of pregnancy, uteri were examined for resorbed or degenerated foetus. Gravid uterus needs to be flacid for maintainance of pregnancy. Increased tonicity of uterus is detrimental to growing foetus. Hence, percent of degenerated foetus / failure of pregnancy was considered as a standard parameter to assess the uterotonic effect of the test product. Of all the dose rates tested, 10 mg / kg rat body weight showed maximum uterotonic activity which works out to be more or less 550 mg per adult cow.

Interpretation of lab studies: Pharmacological evaluation of INVOLON in lab animals as mentioned earlier, has proved its uetro tonic and ecbolic actions. Uterine tonicity and contractions play key role in separation of placental membranes and subsequent expulsion. INVOLON by toning up the uterus and inducing the uterine contractions prevents uterine inertia and thereby RPM.

INVOLON was tried in 24 freshly calved crossbred cows. Administration of INVOLON to freshly calved crossbred cows helped in quick (on an average 24 hrs.) expulsion of placenta. It has also helped in cotyledonary-carencular seperation leading to easy manual removal.

INVOLON Bolus was tried in 10 animals. Administration of INVOLON Bolus resulted in timely placental shedding and also helped in easy manual removal of placenta.

INVOLON Bolus was tried in 10 animals. From the results it was concluded that INVOLON Bolus is very effective in providing complete postpartum care i.e. early shedding of placenta, regulation on lochial discharge, early onset of postpartum heat and overall improvement in breeding efficiency and was further concluded that INVOLON Bolus is an efficient and safe drug and can be recommended under field conditions for prevention of postpartum disorders.
       
    -(Dr.R.K.Sonawane, V.A.S., Bhilai)
       
 
INVOLON Bolus was tried in 5 freshly calved cows. It was concluded that INVOLON enhances the contraction of uterine musculature thereby early expulsion of placenta and early cleaning of uterus. These phenomenon results in quiet early uterine involution and animal come in cycle earlier than normal one. All these help to improve the breeding efficiency, and hence improves the profits.

  ABSTRACT
       
 
The study was conducted on the Frieswal (Holstein Friesian x Sahiwal) cows belonging to the Military Dairy Farm, Jabalpur. For the treatment of retention of placenta, 40 pregnant cows were allotted randomly with equal number to the 2 groups. To the cows of first group, INVOLON Bolus was administered 1 bid x 3 days, orally, after calving. Second group was kept as untreated control.
       
 
In the INVOLON treated group all the cows expelled their placenta within 6.08 ± 0.31 hours postpartum compared to 8.66 ± 0.56 hours in the control group. Disappearance of lochia / occurrence of first postpartum oestrus (8.40 ± 0.60 days / 55.9 ± 3.20 days) were significantly earlier (P < 0.05) in the treated group than the untreated control (9.90 ± 1.25 days / 60.90 ± 5.76 days). The treatment caused significantly earlier (P < 0.01) uterine involution / service period (20.07 ± 0.67 days / 71.56 ± 3.60 days) compared to control group (29.35 ± 0.35 days / 87.30 ± 4.30 days). The 90 days milk production was also significantly more
(P < 0.01) in INVOLON treated group (1216.95 ± 72.13 litres) than the control (1012.4 ± 85.17 litres). The conception rate was comparatively better in the INVOLON treated group (1.70 ± 0.21) compared to untreated control group (2.40 ± 0.17).
       
 
INVOLON Bolus was tried in 20 pregnant frieswal cows. INVOLON treated cows expelled their placenta within 6.08±0.31 hours postpartum compared to 8.66±0.56 hours in the control group. It was concluded that INVOLON is claimed to be an ecbolic and uterotonic in action, hence it helped in early involution of uterus along with better subsequent reproductive and productive performance. Apart from this, INVOLON also improved the milk yield being galactogogue also in action.

  ABSTRACT
       
 
In vivo studies was conducted to evaluate the effect of herbal drugs on different reproductive performance. The time required for expulsion of foetal membranes (hrs.) in buffaloes in control group was higher (7.33 ? 0.74 hrs.) as compared to group treated with INVOLON (4.71 ? 0.52 hrs). The difference in the mean time required for expulsion of foetal membranes between control and INVOLON was significant.
       
  The mean time interval required for disappearance of lochia was 10.83 ? 0.55 days in control group. While it was 9.71 ? 0.48 days in INVOLON treated group.
       
 
Time required for involution of uterus in control group was 49.00 ? 2.20 days. While it was 43.20 ? 3.13 days in INVOLON treated group.
       
 
The onset of first post partum estrus in control group was 64.00 ? 4.08 days. The onset of first post partum estrus in INVOLON was 64.33 ? 3.18 days.
