Butaphosphan + Vitamin B12 Injection is a nutritional supplement used to treat phosphorus deficiencies and to improve metabolism and immune function in many types of animals, including horses, rabbits, poultry, and livestock such as cows, sheep, and goats. These deficiencies might be caused by many reasons, such as anorexia, lactation, stress, or overexertion.

Butaphosphan is an organic phosphorus compound. The major indications are disorder of the metabolism that result from poor nutrition, inadequate management or disease (e.g. developmental and nutritional disorders in young animals due to rearing disease, and (secondary) ketosis in cows) and to support the treatment of infertility, tetanus and paresis. Butaphosphan is quickly absorbed at the injection site and it is distributed quickly after intramuscular or subcutaneous administration. It is distributed rapidly to tissues with high metabolic activity like the liver, kidneys, and muscles. It is metabolized by the liver and it participates in various metabolic processes like synthesis and degradation of amino acids. It is excreted through kidneys in urine and the elimination half-life is relatively short.

Vitamin B12 influences protein, carbohydrate and fat metabolism and promotes formation of red blood cells. Vitamin B12 is also rapidly absorbed at the injection site through the bloodstream. It binds to plasma proteins and is transported to tissues. The liver serves as a storage site for this vitamin. This vitamin is also distributed to other tissues like the bone marrow. It acts as a coenzyme in various metabolic pathways and is involved in DNA synthesis and red blood cell production. This vitamin is excreted through bile, and is reabsorbed in the enterohepatic circulation. The excess of this vitamin is excreted in the urine, and it has a longer half-life compared to Butaphosphan due to its storage in the liver and its role in long-term metabolic functions.

These compounds are thought to have a synergistic effect and are essential components necessary for many physiological systems within the body and acts as a metabolic stimulant, roborant, and tonic.

Butaphosphan + Vitamin B12 is mainly used as an immune stimulant to treat deficiencies in many animals. This includes treatment of the following:

• phosphorus deficiencies
• tetanus
• paresis
• metabolic disorders
• poor nutrition
• weakness
• secondary anemia
• puerperal diseases

It's use depends on the cause of the medical issue. In some mild cases, it is enough, but for more complicated metabolic disorders like tetanus and paresis, treatment with calcium and magnesium are also recommended.

Companion Animals Deficiencies

Dogs and cats can be treated with this injection in cases of anemia. It supports red blood cell formation, and it also improves oxygen delivery. It also improves energy metabolism and vitality of the animals. It can also aid in faster recovery from various diseases.

Horse Deficiencies

In horses, this injection can improve general health in cases of tying-up syndrome. Besides injection, their current health status can be improved with a balanced diet. This injection can improve muscle metabolism and reduce muscle stiffness. It also supports the energy metabolism and overall vitality. It also leads to an improved performance.

Livestock Animals (Cow, Goat, Sheep) Deficiencies

This injection can improve feed efficiency and weight gain and can lead to improved meat production. It also manages metabolic disorders like ketosis and improves overall productivity. It improves the recovery rates in cases of various diseases and can improve red blood cell production.

Poultry Deficiencies

In poultry, this product can improve the growth and feed conversion efficiency, which are crucial in commercial poultry production. It can help in the recovery process from stressors like illnesses, molting, and transportation.

It is sometimes used to improve muscle performance in animals like racing horses, and it is also used to increase milk production in dairy cows.
