PROTINC SYRUP (S)

Hester ProtinC is a standout product in our VETERINARY LIVESTOCK SUPPLEMENT category. Manufactured by Hester Biosciences Limited one of India's most respected, trusted, and scientifically credible animal health companies, headquartered in Ahmedabad, Gujarat ProtinC is built on a multi-nutrient platform that goes far beyond conventional single-nutrient supplementation. The combination of rumen-protected protein, Propylene Glycol, Biotin, and micronised Calcium and Phosphorus is specifically engineered to address the critical metabolic and nutritional vulnerabilities of periparturient, high-producing, and early-lactation dairy animals the period of highest nutritional demand and greatest risk of production-limiting and welfare-threatening metabolic disease. By delivering bypass protein that escapes rumen fermentation and reaches the small intestine intact, gluconeogenic Propylene Glycol that directly prevents negative energy balance and ketosis, the proven hoof and milk quality benefits of Biotin, and the rapidly bioavailable micronised Calcium and Phosphorus essential for muscle contraction, milk synthesis, and skeletal integrity, ProtinC provides a genuinely comprehensive nutritional safety net for the most economically valuable and nutritionally vulnerable livestock in every Indian dairy herd. With Hester ProtinC, you can trust that you are offering every animal in your care the very finest in evidence-based, multi-action oral nutritional supplementation.

Composition:

• Rumen Protected Protein (Bypass Protein Primary Active): the most technologically sophisticated component of ProtinC high-quality dietary protein that has been encapsulated or chemically protected through a patented rumen protection technology that shields the protein from microbial fermentation and degradation in the rumen. In a normal ruminant digestive system, up to 80% of dietary protein is broken down by rumen microorganisms into ammonia and microbial protein which, while valuable, provides amino acids in quantities and profiles that frequently fall short of the high-producing dairy animal's actual metabolic requirements during peak lactation and the periparturient period. Rumen Protected Protein bypasses this degradation entirely, reaching the abomasum and small intestine where it is digested and absorbed as a complete amino acid profile including the essential and semi-essential amino acids Lysine, Methionine, Threonine, and Tryptophan that are most limiting for milk protein synthesis. This direct delivery of metabolisable protein at the intestinal level dramatically improves the efficiency of protein utilisation, supports peak milk protein content and yield, maintains body condition score during the critical early lactation negative energy balance period, and preserves the immune protein synthesis capacity required for resistance to mastitis and other periparturient infections
• Propylene Glycol (Gluconeogenic Precursor Anti-Ketosis Active): a rapidly absorbed, water-miscible organic compound that is the most clinically effective and practically validated oral anti-ketosis agent in ruminant medicine. In early lactation, high-producing dairy cattle and buffaloes enter a state of negative energy balance their energy demands for milk synthesis exceed the energy available from feed intake, forcing mobilisation of body fat reserves. Excessive fat mobilisation overwhelms the liver's capacity for complete fat oxidation, leading to accumulation of ketone bodies (Beta-hydroxybutyrate, Acetoacetate, and Acetone) in the blood, urine, and milk clinically recognised as subclinical or clinical ketosis. Propylene Glycol is converted in the liver to glucose through gluconeogenesis at a rate that is directly proportional to the oral dose providing a rapid, reliable, dose-dependent increase in blood glucose concentration that reduces the negative energy balance driving fat mobilisation, suppresses ketone body accumulation, and supports hepatic gluconeogenic capacity during the most metabolically demanding weeks of lactation. Clinical studies consistently demonstrate that oral Propylene Glycol supplementation in the periparturient period reduces the incidence of clinical and subclinical ketosis by 40 to 60%, significantly improving milk production, fertility, and early lactation health outcomes
• Biotin (Vitamin B7 Hoof & Milk Quality Active): a water-soluble B-complex vitamin that plays two distinct and critically important roles in high-producing dairy ruminants. In hoof health, Biotin is the essential cofactor for carboxylase enzymes involved in the synthesis of keratin the structural protein that forms the hoof horn. Biotin supplementation at therapeutic doses promotes the growth of harder, more resilient hoof horn with better structural integrity, significantly reducing the incidence and severity of white line disease, sole haemorrhage, vertical fissures, and other claw disorders that are the leading causes of lameness in dairy cattle. In milk production, Biotin participates as a cofactor in several gluconeogenic and lipogenic enzymes supplementation supports both milk yield and milk fat content in high-producing cows. Biotin's proven efficacy in reducing lameness and improving hoof integrity makes it an indispensable component of any comprehensive dairy herd health programme, as lameness is the third most economically significant health condition in dairy cattle after mastitis and reproductive disorders
• Micronised Calcium (Rapidly Bioavailable Calcium Supplement): calcium presented in micronised (ultra-fine particle size) form that dramatically improves dissolution rate and gastrointestinal absorption compared to conventional calcium salt formulations. Calcium is the most critically demanded mineral during the periparturient period in dairy cattle the sudden onset of colostrum and milk production at parturition creates a calcium drain of 20 to 30 grams per day that frequently outpaces intestinal calcium absorption and skeletal calcium mobilisation, resulting in hypocalcaemia (Milk Fever) one of the most prevalent, economically devastating, and welfare-compromising metabolic diseases of dairy cattle. Even subclinical hypocalcaemia where blood calcium falls below the optimal range without overt clinical signs significantly impairs smooth muscle function, reduces rumen motility (contributing to displaced abomasum and indigestion), impairs uterine contractility (contributing to retained placenta and metritis), and reduces neutrophil function (contributing to increased mastitis susceptibility). The micronised form in ProtinC ensures rapid and complete calcium absorption, supporting blood calcium homeostasis during the critical periparturient window
• Micronised Phosphorus (Rapidly Bioavailable Phosphorus Supplement): phosphorus presented in micronised form for rapid bioavailability the mineral most intimately linked to energy metabolism through its role in ATP synthesis, and the second most critically demanded mineral during peak lactation. Phosphorus is essential for cellular energy transfer, bone mineralisation, nucleic acid synthesis, phospholipid membrane integrity, and the phosphoprotein fraction of milk that contributes directly to cheese yield and milk protein quality. Phosphorus deficiency in dairy cattle causes reduced feed intake, poor milk production, impaired fertility (anestrus, poor conception rates), bone demineralisation, and in severe cases pica (abnormal appetite) and haemolytic anaemia. The optimally balanced Calcium:Phosphorus ratio in ProtinC ensures that supplementation of both minerals promotes effective utilisation of each as an imbalanced Ca:P ratio impairs absorption of both minerals regardless of the absolute quantity of each supplied
