Information
Alfalfa 30c for appetite stimulation and milk production in dairy cattle
Good appetite is essential for maintaining health, body condition and milk production throughout the production cycle. When dairy cattle do not consume enough feed, production, performance and recovery may all be affected.
Alfalfa is traditionally used to encourage appetite and support efficient digestion, helping dairy cattle make the most of available nutrition. It may be used alongside balanced feeding programmes and good farm management practices to support overall herd wellbeing.
When might Alfalfa be considered?
Alfalfa is traditionally used where dairy cattle are showing signs associated with:
- Reduced appetite
- Poor feed intake
- Loss of condition
- Nutritional stress
- Reduced milk production
- Digestive upset
- Slow recovery following illness
- Animals not thriving as expected

Supporting healthy milk production
Milk production depends on many factors, including nutrition, digestion, energy balance and overall health. Adequate feed intake plays a critical role in supporting peak production throughout lactation.
Alfalfa is traditionally used to support appetite and digestive function, helping dairy cattle maintain nutritional intake during periods of increased demand.
Supporting digestive health
Efficient digestion is important for nutrient absorption, body condition and productivity. Digestive challenges can affect appetite, feed utilisation and performance across all classes of dairy livestock.
Alfalfa may be incorporated into a herd health programme to support normal digestive function and overall vitality.

How to use
All Agripathics remedies are provided in liquid form, as this has proven to be the most practical and effective method of administration across species.
Individual Use:
For optimal absorption, remedies are best applied to a mucus membrane. In dairy cows, this typically means the nose or vulva. During milking, the vulva offers a convenient access point. A suggested approach is to spray 3–4 times per dose, ideally at three intervals: when the cow enters the shed, when cups are put on, and again at cup removal. This spacing allows for a minimum five-minute interval between applications, supporting consistent uptake and response.
For other farm animals, placing the remedy directly into the mouth or via food or water is generally the most effective method.
Group Use:
For herd-wide support, remedies can be added to the water trough. Adding 1–2 capfuls ensures that each animal receives a dose with every drink, allowing for repeated exposure throughout the day.

Ingredients
Homeopathic Ingredient:
Alfalfa 30c
Base Composition
Formulated in a liquid base of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%) and purified water.
About Our Ethanol Base
Our remedies are preserved using human‑grade undenatured ethanol, selected for its purity and suitability across species. The gentle 10% concentration supports product stability while remaining appropriate for routine use with companion animals, birds, horses, and livestock.
Ethanol and Animal Administration
Each dose contains only a minimal amount of ethanol. Most animals tolerate this well, and remedies may be administered orally, added to feed or water, or applied topically depending on species and context.
For animals with known sensitivity - or when cautious administration is preferred - the following approaches may be used:
-
Dispense drops into feed and allow to stand for 20 minutes before offering
-
Dilute in a small volume of warm water and allow to stand for 20 minutes prior to administration
These methods allow partial ethanol evaporation while preserving the integrity of the active ingredients.
Ingredient Philosophy
We select ingredients with a focus on purity, safety, and functional integrity. Our undenatured ethanol base reflects this commitment - clean, balanced, and suitable for diverse species, from household companions to performance and production animals.
FAQ's
Is ethanol safe for animals? Yes. Our remedies use a very small amount of human‑grade undenatured ethanol (10%), which is widely accepted as safe for routine use across species.
Why is ethanol used in the remedies? Ethanol acts as a gentle preservative, helping maintain stability and potency over time. It also supports the integrity of homeopathic preparations.
Can sensitive animals still take the remedy? Absolutely. For animals with known sensitivity, drops can be added to feed or diluted in warm water and allowed to stand for 20 minutes. This allows partial evaporation while keeping the remedy effective.
Will my animal taste the ethanol? Most animals show no reaction at all. When added to food or water, the taste is minimal to undetectable.
