MECOVET-XL SYRUP

Mecovet XL Syrup by Carus Laboratories Pvt. Ltd. is a comprehensive, extra-large-dose recovery booster formulated as a concentrated oral tonic to address the complex nutritional deficiencies that accompany chronic illness, weakness, debility, and lameness in large and small livestock. Combining a high-potency dose of Methylcobalamin, the biologically active form of Vitamin B12, with a full-spectrum B-complex, targeted trace minerals including iron, zinc, and chromium, and the essential cholinergic nutrient choline chloride, this syrup targets the root causes of poor recovery, metabolic fatigue, and neurological deficiency in cattle, buffalo, sheep, goats, and calves. Crafted to reflect the "Extra Large" nutritional demands of working and convalescing livestock, every 15 ml dose is calibrated for maximum clinical impact. Animeal is proud to offer Mecovet XL Syrup as part of our curated range of trusted veterinary recovery solutions for livestock farmers and veterinary professionals.

Ingredients:

Methylcobalamin, 1125 mcg: Methylcobalamin is the neurologically active, co-enzyme form of Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) that is directly utilised by the central and peripheral nervous systems without requiring hepatic conversion. At the cellular level, it is an essential co-factor for methionine synthase, the enzyme responsible for the remethylation of homocysteine to methionine, which is critical for myelin sheath synthesis and maintenance. Methylcobalamin supports axonal regeneration, promotes the health of Schwann cells, and reinstates normal nerve conduction velocity, making it the cornerstone ingredient in addressing neurological presentations such as lameness and ataxia in livestock. It additionally reinforces erythropoiesis by enabling the maturation of red blood cells in bone marrow, directly alleviating megaloblastic anaemia and associated weakness.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine HCl), 4.5 mg: Thiamine (Vitamin B1) serves as an indispensable co-factor for pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, the key enzymes of the Krebs cycle through which carbohydrates are converted to usable cellular energy (ATP). In ruminants, thiamine deficiency is directly implicated in polioencephalomalacia, a serious neurological condition causing ataxia, blindness, and incoordination. Supplementation restores energy metabolism in neural tissue, supports normal rumen fermentation, and reinforces the overall metabolic recovery process in convalescing animals.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), 4.5 mg: Riboflavin is a precursor to the co-enzymes FAD (flavin adenine dinucleotide) and FMN (flavin mononucleotide), which are central to the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation at the mitochondrial level. These co-enzymes are essential for the metabolic conversion of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into bioavailable energy. In recovering livestock, adequate riboflavin ensures that all macronutrients consumed are efficiently utilised for tissue repair, growth, and regeneration rather than being poorly catabolised during the energy deficit of convalescence.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine), 3 mg: Pyridoxine is a co-factor for over 100 enzymatic reactions, most critically those involved in amino acid transamination, decarboxylation, and the synthesis of key neurotransmitters including serotonin, dopamine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). At the systemic level, B6 supports protein metabolism, haemoglobin synthesis, immune cell production, and the regulation of homocysteine levels. In livestock under physiological stress from illness or recovery, pyridoxine supplementation reinforces the protein anabolic pathways needed to restore muscle mass and body condition.

D-Panthenol (Provitamin B5), 7.5 mg: D-Panthenol is the stable, bioavailable precursor to pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), which the body converts to coenzyme A (CoA), the central molecule enabling the entry of acetyl groups into the Krebs cycle for energy production. CoA is also essential for the synthesis of fatty acids, steroid hormones, and acetylcholine. D-Panthenol additionally exerts direct tissue-regenerative and anti-inflammatory action at the epithelial level, supporting the repair of mucosal surfaces, skin integrity, and coat condition during recovery from chronic illness.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3), 120 mg: Niacinamide is a form of nicotinic acid that serves as the precursor to NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) and NADP (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate), the two universal hydrogen carrier molecules involved in virtually every catabolic and anabolic reaction in the cell. In high-producing dairy cattle and recovering livestock, niacinamide supplementation helps prevent ketosis by supporting fatty acid oxidation, reduces blood ammonia levels, and promotes normal rumen function and feed efficiency. The high inclusion rate of 120 mg per 15 ml reflects the elevated metabolic demands of large livestock in recovery.

Biotin, 450 mcg: Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin that acts as a co-factor for carboxylase enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, fatty acid synthesis, and amino acid catabolism. In livestock, biotin plays a particularly important structural role in keratin cross-linking within hoof tissue, making it a clinically validated intervention for the prevention and management of lameness, hoof cracks, and sole horn defects in cattle. Adequate biotin supplementation reinforces hoof wall hardness, improves heel horn integrity, and supports the overall skin and coat quality of convalescing animals.

Folic Acid, 1.5 mg: Folic acid (Vitamin B9) is an essential co-factor in the one-carbon transfer reactions that drive DNA synthesis, repair, and cell division. It works synergistically with methylcobalamin in the methionine cycle to maintain normal red blood cell formation, prevent megaloblastic anaemia, and support the rapid cellular proliferation required during tissue repair and convalescence. In pregnant and lactating livestock, folate demand is significantly elevated, making supplementation during and after illness particularly important.

Choline Chloride, 75 mg: Choline chloride is an essential quaternary ammonium nutrient that serves as the precursor to the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and to phosphatidylcholine, a critical structural component of cell membranes throughout the body. In ruminants, choline plays a pivotal hepatoprotective role by facilitating the export of fat from the liver as very-low-density lipoproteins (VLDL), directly preventing hepatic lipidosis (fatty liver disease) that commonly accompanies high-production periods and recovery from illness. Choline also reinforces carnitine synthesis, which is essential for mitochondrial fatty acid transport and energy generation.

Iron, 75 mg: Iron is the central mineral component of haemoglobin and myoglobin, the oxygen-carrying proteins of red blood cells and muscle tissue respectively. In livestock recovering from chronic illness or parasitic infection, iron deficiency is a common contributing factor to anaemia, weakness, and reduced exercise tolerance. Supplemental iron at this dose supports the restoration of haemoglobin levels, enhances tissue oxygenation, and restores the aerobic capacity required for productive recovery and return to normal function.

Zinc, 11.25 mg: Zinc is an essential trace mineral functioning as a catalytic co-factor for over 300 metalloenzymes, including those involved in protein synthesis, DNA replication, immune cell proliferation, and wound healing. In livestock, zinc plays a specific structural role in keratin formation within hoof and skin tissue, and its deficiency is directly implicated in parakeratosis, poor wound healing, and reduced immune responsiveness. Supplementation reinforces the structural integrity of epithelial and connective tissue during convalescence.

Chromium, 37.5 mcg: Chromium is an essential ultra-trace mineral that potentiates the action of insulin by facilitating glucose transporter mobilisation at the cell membrane, thereby improving cellular glucose uptake and energy utilisation. In stressed or recovering livestock, chromium supplementation reduces cortisol-mediated immunosuppression, enhances insulin sensitivity, supports lean muscle retention, and promotes an anabolic hormonal environment conducive to recovery and weight regain.

Potassium Chloride, 3 mg: Potassium is the primary intracellular cation responsible for maintaining cellular osmotic balance, membrane potential, and normal cardiac and skeletal muscle excitability. Potassium deficiency is a frequent complication of chronic illness, diarrhoea, reduced feed intake, and metabolic stress in livestock. Supplemental potassium chloride restores electrolyte homeostasis, supports normal neuromuscular function, and reinforces the fluid balance essential for systemic recovery.
