Synopsis

Source of validity: Traditional
Rating (out of 5): 2

Bovine (unspecified) products, such as organs, extracts, or tissues, have a longstanding history of use in traditional and ethnoveterinary medicine to support animals during the postpartum period, particularly in cases of postpartum weakness. Historically, these remedies have been administered to livestock by farmers and traditional healers based on empirical observations rather than scientific trials. The rationale often revolves around the belief that consuming or administering parts of healthy animals, especially those reputed to be strong or vital, can help restore strength and vitality in weakened individuals. However, rigorous scientific evaluation of these traditional practices is limited. Modern veterinary science typically attributes postpartum weakness in bovines to specific physiological issues such as hypocalcemia (milk fever), retained placenta, or infections, and addresses these with targeted treatments (e.g., calcium supplementation, antibiotics). There is a lack of controlled clinical studies demonstrating that unspecified bovine extracts or products directly ameliorate postpartum weakness in a reproducible, evidence-based manner. Thus, while the use of bovine-derived products for postpartum weakness is grounded in tradition, the supporting evidence is largely anecdotal or based on cultural practices rather than robust scientific validation.
