Cows, Calves, Bulls and Essential Oils


Cows often need a tonic.  Make up the following for them:
10 drops Fennel and 5 drops Roman Chamomile  dilute in 3 oz of water.
When you have added the essential oils to the water, shake well and use 1 teaspoon mixed with more water in a plant-spray to spray the feed in winter.

The milk production of cows can be invreased by adding to their feed the right herb or oil instead of these hormones that the unwitting consumer must drink along with the milk.  Hazelnut leaves are said to increase the butterfat content of the milk while also being very good for the cow's digestive system.  Melissa (lemon balm) is also effective for increasing milk production.  Use it dried in the feed or add 15 drops of melissa essential oil to 3 oz. boiling water and use 1 teaspoon of this, sprayed on the feed.  Marjoram is also good for increased lactation, as well as preventing cows aborting.  Put 10 drops of Marjoram essential oil in 3 oz. boiling water and add 1 teaspoon of this to 1 qt of water in a plant-spray, and spray the cows feed.  Use this method after the birth as well, to help the uterus.

Diarrhea or scours in calves can be treated by adding 1 drop of Roman Chamomile oil to their feed.  Bathe the abdomen with a large piece of old material which has been soaked in 4-1/2 qts of warm water to which 10 drops of roman chamomile oil has been added.

Always use the highest grade, purest clinical grade essential oils available.  Choose other options if needed, trying to find the best available.  Animals respond best to the purest, rather than adulterated, contaminated or synthetics in oils.
