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

 

Increases Milk Production Through Bypass Protein Delivery: the rumen-protected protein component provides metabolisable amino acids particularly Lysine and Methionine directly to the small intestine at the quantities required to support peak milk protein synthesis, consistently demonstrating 5 to 15% improvements in milk yield and milk protein percentage in controlled supplementation trials in Indian dairy cattle when used during the transition and early lactation periods

Prevents Ketosis & Negative Energy Balance The #1 Early Lactation Metabolic Disease: Propylene Glycol's proven gluconeogenic activity directly prevents the ketone body accumulation that causes clinical and subclinical ketosis protecting early lactation cows from the devastating milk production losses, reduced fertility, increased mastitis risk, and secondary displaced abomasum that ketosis triggers, while maintaining the hepatic metabolic function required for healthy early lactation performance

Improves Udder Health & Reduces Mastitis Susceptibility: the restoration of optimal blood calcium through micronised Calcium supplementation supports neutrophil chemotaxis and phagocytic function the immune mechanism that is the primary defence against mammary gland infection. Subclinical hypocalcaemia significantly impairs neutrophil function, creating the immunosuppressed periparturient window of peak mastitis susceptibility. ProtinC® supplementation during this window actively supports the immune defence mechanisms protecting udder health

Reduces Lameness Through Therapeutic Biotin Supplementation: Biotin's proven role in hoof horn synthesis directly addresses the single most prevalent welfare and productivity problem in Indian dairy herds after mastitis lameness from claw disorders. Regular ProtinC supplementation promotes harder, more resilient hoof horn with reduced incidence of white line disease, sole haemorrhage, and other painful claw conditions that cause significant production losses, welfare suffering, and premature culling in affected animals

Prevents Milk Fever & Subclinical Hypocalcaemia: the micronised Calcium component, with its enhanced dissolution and absorption rate, provides rapidly bioavailable dietary calcium to buffer the massive periparturient calcium drain of colostrum and milk production reducing the incidence and severity of clinical and subclinical hypocalcaemia and its cascading consequences for rumen motility, uterine health, immune function, and subsequent reproductive performance

Reduces Periparturient Stress & Supports Transition Cow Management: the combination of all four active components in ProtinC provides a comprehensive nutritional safety net that addresses every major metabolic and nutritional vulnerability of the transition period reducing the cumulative physiological stress of parturition, early lactation, and the onset of milk production on the animal's metabolic systems

Supports Musculoskeletal Health & Prevents Post-Partum Weakness: the combined Calcium, Phosphorus, and bypass protein supplementation supports muscle contractility, skeletal mineral density, and structural protein turnover preventing the post-partum weakness, downer cow syndrome, and impaired ambulation that complicate periparturient management in heavy-producing dairy animals

Broad Species Application Cattle, Buffaloes, Horses, Calves, Goats & Sheep: the versatile oral formulation and broad-spectrum nutritional profile of ProtinC makes it applicable across the full range of livestock species commonly managed by Indian veterinarians and livestock operators from high-producing dairy cows and buffaloes to horses, growing calves, heifers in the pre-breeding development phase, and small ruminants requiring nutritional support

How to Use:

Administer ProtinC orally at the recommended dose drench directly into the oral cavity using a drenching gun or oral syringe, or mix thoroughly into a small quantity of feed or drinking water immediately before administration. Ensure the complete prescribed dose is consumed by the animal. For periparturient supplementation, initiate treatment 2 to 4 weeks before expected calving and continue through the first 4 to 8 weeks of lactation for maximum transition cow management benefit. Always administer under veterinary guidance for therapeutic applications.

Storage Advice:

Store Hester ProtinC® in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. Keep bottle tightly sealed between uses. Do not freeze. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the label and packaging.

Always refer to veterinary guidance for complete supplementation and administration protocols.

Q: What makes rumen-protected (bypass) protein in ProtinC more effective than regular dietary protein for dairy cattle?
In a ruminant's digestive system, conventional dietary protein whether from feed, concentrates, or standard supplement sources is subjected to extensive microbial fermentation and degradation in the rumen before reaching the small intestine. Up to 80% of crude dietary protein may be broken down into ammonia in the rumen, and while rumen microorganisms synthesise their own microbial protein, this provides amino acids in quantities and proportions that frequently fall short of the high-producing dairy cow's metabolic requirements particularly for the essential amino acids Lysine and Methionine that are most limiting for milk protein synthesis. Rumen Protected Protein in ProtinC has been encapsulated or chemically protected to resist rumen microbial degradation, bypassing the rumen and reaching the abomasum and small intestine where it is digested and absorbed as a complete, high-value amino acid profile. This bypass delivery dramatically improves the metabolisable protein supply available for milk protein synthesis, immune protein production, and body tissue maintenance providing nutritional support that conventional dietary protein cannot reliably deliver to high-producing animals with large rumen fermentation capacity.
Q: How does Propylene Glycol in ProtinC prevent ketosis and why is ketosis such a significant problem in high-producing dairy cattle?
Ketosis is one of the most prevalent and economically devastating metabolic diseases in high-producing dairy cattle estimated to affect 30 to 50% of dairy cows in high-producing Indian herds at the subclinical level during the first 2 weeks of lactation. It occurs because the sudden onset of peak milk production creates an energy demand that outpaces feed intake capacity, forcing excessive body fat mobilisation. The liver is overwhelmed by the volume of fatty acids arriving from fat mobilisation and diverts them to ketone body production rather than complete oxidation resulting in blood, urine, and milk ketone accumulation that causes reduced appetite, declining milk production, reproductive failure, increased mastitis susceptibility, and displacement of the abomasum. Propylene Glycol is absorbed from the forestomachs and small intestine and converted directly to glucose in the liver through gluconeogenesis providing an immediate, dose-dependent blood glucose boost that reduces the metabolic signal driving fat mobilisation, suppresses ketone body production, and supports hepatic metabolic function. Clinical trials consistently demonstrate 40 to 60% reductions in ketosis incidence with periparturient Propylene Glycol supplementation at the doses used in ProtinC
Q: How long should ProtinC be supplemented in transition dairy cows for maximum benefit?
For periparturient transition cow management the primary and most clinically important application of ProtinC veterinary nutritionists and dairy scientists recommend initiating supplementation approximately 2 to 4 weeks before expected calving (the close-up dry period) and continuing through the first 4 to 8 weeks of lactation (the early lactation period). This supplementation window covers the entire transition period during which the animal is most nutritionally vulnerable the pre-calving period of feed intake decline, the periparturient calcium drain of colostrum and milk production onset, the early lactation negative energy balance driving ketosis risk, and the establishment of peak milk production. For animals with established subclinical ketosis or borderline blood calcium identified through BHBA testing or clinical observation your veterinarian may recommend a more intensive supplementation protocol with higher doses or more frequent administration throughout the affected period. For routine herd-level preventive supplementation, year-round twice-daily administration to all transition animals entering the close-up dry cow group is the most comprehensive management approach.
Q: Can ProtinC be used in goats and sheep as well as large animals?
Yes ProtinC is specifically indicated and dosed for goats and sheep in addition to cattle, buffaloes, horses, calves, and heifers. Small ruminants benefit from all four active components of ProtinC for the same fundamental metabolic and nutritional reasons as large ruminants bypass protein for milk production support in dairy goats and sheep, Propylene Glycol for prevention of pregnancy toxaemia (the small ruminant equivalent of ketosis that is particularly common and severe in late-pregnant ewes and does carrying multiple foetuses), Biotin for hoof health in sheep and goats prone to foot rot and foot scald, and micronised Calcium and Phosphorus for musculoskeletal health and milk production support. The dose for goats and sheep is appropriately lower at 10 to 20ml twice daily scaled to the significantly smaller body mass of small ruminants compared to large dairy animals.

How does Propylene Glycol in ProtinC prevent ketosis and why is ketosis such a significant problem in high-producing dairy cattle?

Ketosis is one of the most prevalent and economically devastating metabolic diseases in high-producing dairy cattle estimated to affect 30 to 50% of dairy cows in high-producing Indian herds at the subclinical level during the first 2 weeks of lactation. It occurs because the sudden onset of peak milk production creates an energy demand that outpaces feed intake capacity, forcing excessive body fat mobilisation. The liver is overwhelmed by the volume of fatty acids arriving from fat mobilisation and diverts them to ketone body production rather than complete oxidation resulting in blood, urine, and milk ketone accumulation that causes reduced appetite, declining milk production, reproductive failure, increased mastitis susceptibility, and displacement of the abomasum. Propylene Glycol is absorbed from the forestomachs and small intestine and converted directly to glucose in the liver through gluconeogenesis providing an immediate, dose-dependent blood glucose boost that reduces the metabolic signal driving fat mobilisation, suppresses ketone body production, and supports hepatic metabolic function. Clinical trials consistently demonstrate 40 to 60% reductions in ketosis incidence with periparturient Propylene Glycol supplementation at the doses used in ProtinC

How long should ProtinC be supplemented in transition dairy cows for maximum benefit?

For periparturient transition cow management the primary and most clinically important application of ProtinC veterinary nutritionists and dairy scientists recommend initiating supplementation approximately 2 to 4 weeks before expected calving (the close-up dry period) and continuing through the first 4 to 8 weeks of lactation (the early lactation period). This supplementation window covers the entire transition period during which the animal is most nutritionally vulnerable the pre-calving period of feed intake decline, the periparturient calcium drain of colostrum and milk production onset, the early lactation negative energy balance driving ketosis risk, and the establishment of peak milk production. For animals with established subclinical ketosis or borderline blood calcium identified through BHBA testing or clinical observation your veterinarian may recommend a more intensive supplementation protocol with higher doses or more frequent administration throughout the affected period. For routine herd-level preventive supplementation, year-round twice-daily administration to all transition animals entering the close-up dry cow group is the most comprehensive management approach.

Can ProtinC be used in goats and sheep as well as large animals?

Yes ProtinC is specifically indicated and dosed for goats and sheep in addition to cattle, buffaloes, horses, calves, and heifers. Small ruminants benefit from all four active components of ProtinC for the same fundamental metabolic and nutritional reasons as large ruminants bypass protein for milk production support in dairy goats and sheep, Propylene Glycol for prevention of pregnancy toxaemia (the small ruminant equivalent of ketosis that is particularly common and severe in late-pregnant ewes and does carrying multiple foetuses), Biotin for hoof health in sheep and goats prone to foot rot and foot scald, and micronised Calcium and Phosphorus for musculoskeletal health and milk production support. The dose for goats and sheep is appropriately lower at 10 to 20ml twice daily scaled to the significantly smaller body mass of small ruminants compared to large dairy animals.
