Fourteen cows of different calving age and breed clinically presented for retained placenta after 24 hours of calving were taken into the study. Eight cows kept as control group with no treatment. Remaining ten cows of trial group were administered orally once with finely powdered Abrus precatorius seeds mixed with boiled and minced Solanum melongena. Control animals shed placenta in the next 12-18 hrs with an offensive odour. Eight of the trial group cows shed placenta within 4 hrs of giving the mixture and remaining two cows in the next 8 – 18 hours.
