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.

Disclaimer:

Hester ProtinC is a veterinary oral health booster for livestock use intended for cattle, buffaloes, horses, calves, heifers, goats, and sheep only. It is not intended for use in companion animals (dogs or cats) or for human consumption. For optimal clinical benefit, particularly in the management of periparturient metabolic disease, ketosis prevention, and transition cow management, use under the direction of a qualified veterinarian who can assess individual animal health status, production data, and herd-level metabolic disease prevalence. Regular blood Calcium, BHBA (Beta-hydroxybutyrate), and body condition scoring monitoring is recommended in high-risk transition cows to guide supplementation protocols. ProtinC® is a nutritional supplement and is not intended to replace veterinary treatment of established clinical ketosis, clinical milk fever, or other periparturient metabolic diseases requiring immediate therapeutic intervention. Animeal facilitates enquiry and procurement for registered veterinary professionals and licensed livestock operators this product is available for veterinary clinic and farm procurement. 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.
