Overview
Reproductive inefficiency remains one of the most costly problems in dairy production — manifesting as silent heat, anestrus, repeat breeding, and poor conception rates. These challenges are not always due to infections or hormonal issues, but often to hidden mineral, vitamin, and antioxidant deficiencies that impair ovarian function, hormonal balance, and uterine health.
FertiGena™ is a next-generation reproductive mineral formulation scientifically developed by Vetnext Biosciences Pvt. Ltd. to restore fertility through a balanced supply of critical trace minerals, vitamins, and herbal bioactives.
It provides a synergistic nutritional foundation that reactivates the reproductive axis naturally — without hormonal intervention.
Scientific Rationale Behind Each Component
1. Macro Minerals: Foundation of Hormonal and Uterine Health
- Calcium (230 g/kg): Regulates uterine muscle tone, ovulation, and enzymatic activity during follicular maturation. Adequate Ca ensures strong uterine contractions and efficient expulsion of lochia post-calving.
- Phosphorus (115 g/kg): Integral to ATP production and reproductive hormone synthesis. Its deficiency is directly linked to silent heat and delayed ovulation.
- Magnesium (10 g/kg): Modulates ovarian enzyme activity and nerve-muscle coordination required for visible estrus behavior.
- Sulphur (25 g/kg): Supports synthesis of sulfur-containing amino acids and structural proteins essential for follicular fluid integrity and uterine tissue repair.
2. Trace Elements: Catalysts for Fertility and Embryo Survival
- Cobalt (300 mg/kg): Essential for Vitamin B₁₂ synthesis and propionate metabolism; improves energy utilization and reduces negative energy balance post-partum.
- Copper (4500 mg/kg): Enhances LH synthesis, luteal function, and uterine enzymatic activity. Copper deficiency is associated with delayed estrus and early embryonic mortality.
- Iodine (400 mg/kg): Regulates thyroid function; supports follicular growth, ovulation, and fetal viability.
- Iron (4000 mg/kg): Improves oxygen delivery to reproductive tissues; prevents post-partum anemia and delays in uterine involution.
- Manganese (9500 mg/kg): Plays a vital role in steroid hormone biosynthesis and follicular maturation.
- Zinc (15000 mg/kg): A cornerstone element for oocyte quality, embryo implantation, and uterine repair.
- Selenium (100 mg/kg): Acts synergistically with Vitamin E to prevent retained placenta and oxidative damage to ovarian cells.
- Chromium (100 mg/kg): Enhances glucose utilization and reduces cortisol-mediated stress, improving conception during heat or metabolic challenges.
3. Vitamins: The Hormonal Support System
- Vitamin A (10 Lakh IU/kg): Maintains epithelial integrity of reproductive organs and supports steroidogenesis.
- Vitamin D₃ (3 Lakh IU/kg): Ensures optimal calcium–phosphorus metabolism, indirectly promoting ovarian activity.
- Vitamin E (5000 IU/kg): A potent antioxidant that protects ovarian cells, corpus luteum, and early embryos from oxidative stress.
- β-Carotene (1000 mg/kg): The direct ovarian stimulator — enhances follicular quality, improves visual heat signs, and supports progesterone synthesis for embryo maintenance.
4. Proprietary Herbal Extract Blend (500 mg/kg): Nature’s Endocrine Modulator
A unique blend of phytoestrogenic and adaptogenic herbs (such as Shatavari, Ashwagandha, Leptadenia, Trigonella) that:
- Stimulate gonadotropin (FSH/LH) release and follicular recruitment.
- Improve uterine tone and post-parturient cleansing.
- Enhance libido and overall reproductive vitality.
- Support hormonal equilibrium under stress and high milk yield.
