    Energie rondom afkalven voor melkvee.Toprium is een aanvullend diervoeder voor melkvee en speciaal ontwikkeld voor de periode rondom het afkalven. Dit vloeibare energieproduct ondersteunt de energievoorziening van de koe in een kritische fase en draagt bij aan een goede start van de lactatie. Dankzij de hoge smakelijkheid wordt Toprium goed opgenomen en is het eenvoudig te verstrekken via het rantsoen, doseersystemen of met een drench-gun. Wat maakt Toprium effectief? De kracht van Toprium zit in de combinatie van snel beschikbare energie en gerichte toevoegingen die elkaar versterken:Energie (glycerine)Glycerine vormt de belangrijkste energiebron in Toprium en wordt snel opgenomen. Dit ondersteunt de energiebalans rondom het afkalven, wanneer de behoefte hoog is en de opname vaak achterblijft. Toprium bevat daarnaast ook andere componenten zoals dextrose en mineralen. PensstimulatorOndersteunt de activiteit en ontwikkeling van pensbacteriën. Een goed functionerende pens zorgt voor een betere benutting van het rantsoen. Hierdoor wordt de beschikbare energie efficiënter benut en kan met een relatief lage dosering gewerkt worden.BiotineOndersteunt de energiestofwisseling en draagt bij aan het behoud van sterke en gezonde klauwen.Door deze combinatie is Toprium een praktische totaaloplossing rondom het afkalven.Waarom kiezen voor Toprium? Smakelijke energiebron – hoge opname, ook bij lagere voeropname Ondersteunt de energievoorziening rondom afkalven Flexibel inzetbaar – via voermengwagen, over het voer of doseersysteem Geschikt bij extra belasting zoals hittestress Toprium bevat een combinatie van onder andere glycerine, biotine en sporenelementen en is ontwikkeld als praktische oplossing rondom het afkalven.Ondersteuning rondom afkalvenDe periode rondom het afkalven vraagt veel van een melkkoe. De energiebehoefte stijgt, terwijl de voeropname vaak achterblijft. Toprium ondersteunt: de energievoorziening in deze fase een goede stofwisseling een soepele start van de lactatie Daarnaast draagt de samenstelling bij aan het behoud van gezonde klauwen en vruchtbaarheid als onderdeel van een uitgebalanceerd rantsoen.Wanneer gebruik je Toprium? 3 weken vóór afkalven tot 8 weken na afkalven Ook geschikt bij: extra energiebehoefte hittestress verminderde voeropname Voederadvies 80 – 160 ml per koe per dag Praktijkgemiddelde: ±100 ml per dag ToedieningToprium is eenvoudig toe te passen: via doseersystemen over het voer aan het voerhek door het rantsoen in de voermengwagen of rechtstreeks met een drench-gun Door de uitstekende smakelijkheid is de opname doorgaans geen probleem. Samenstelling: Glycerine Dextrose Toevoegingsmiddelen (per kg): Nutritioneel: 3b301 Kobalt (II) (acetaat, tetrahydraat): 95 mg 3a880 Biotine: 100 mg Technologisch: 1a327 Calciumlactaat: 5.660 mg (waarvan melkzuur: 4.620 mg) ConclusieToprium is een praktische en smakelijke energieoplossing voor melkvee rondom het afkalven.

    Direct Bolus Direct Energy 12 x 67 g

    Out of stock

    Direct Energy Bolus is a complementary feed (dietetic mineral feed) for dairy cows designed to tackle the negative energy balance at its source and therefore achieve fast results. The bolus has been specially developed to reduce the risk of ketosis, which results from an energy deficit. The bolus contains energy, vitamins and minerals that work together to improve the animal's overall nutritional status. It also contains a Rumen Stimulant (PS) that helps stimulate the animal's rumination activity and improve rumen function. This results in better digestion of the feed, allowing the animal to extract more energy from it. Another advantage of the Direct Energy Bolus is its better acceptance compared to other energy sources. This makes it easier to give the bolus to the animal and reduces the risk of refusal. The bolus is also safe to administer and increases the animal's energy metabolism. The feeding advice for the Direct Energy Bolus is to give 1 bolus twice a day for 2 days using a suitable bolus applicator. This allows the animal to recover quickly and restores the energy balance.Direct Energy Bolus is the fastest route to results!Complementary feed (dietetic mineral feed).Benefits of Direct Energy Bolus• Rapid restoration of the energy balance.• Optimisation of the rumen flora.• In addition to energy, also contains vitamins and minerals to improve overall nutritional status.• Contains PS (Rumen Stimulant) => stimulates rumination activity and ensures better rumen function. • Better acceptance than other energy sources.• Safe to administer.• Increases energy metabolism.Feeding advice1 bolus 2 x a day for 2 days.The bolus can be administered using the white rings in the bolus applicator (36 mm). bolus promotion

  • Direct Calcium 12 x 94 g

    Direct Bolus Direct Calcium 12 x 94 g

    Out of stock

    Direct Calcium BolusDietetic feed for dairy cows in bolus form to supplement calcium in the period around calving, to reduce the risk of milk fever and subclinical hypocalcaemia.Contains a combination of 2 readily available forms of calcium, calcium formate and calcium acetate, and provides 25 grams of available calcium per bolus.Why a calcium bolusShortly before or after calving, a dairy cow can develop a shortage of calcium reserves in the blood, because the calcium requirement rises sharply around calving. If the cow cannot replenish these reserves quickly enough, the blood calcium level can drop too low, resulting in visible milk fever symptoms such as reduced appetite and activity, cold ears and poorly functioning skeletal and organ muscles. In a larger group (40-50%), however, no symptoms are immediately visible, but the low calcium level can still have consequences later in lactation.The Direct Calcium Bolus is an easy-to-administer gelatine capsule that dissolves quickly in the rumen, so that its contents of calcium formate and calcium acetate are also released quickly. Thanks to the good availability of both forms of calcium, the calcium quickly becomes available to the cow. This ensures a gradual rise in the calcium level, which is maintained over a longer period.The perfect choice for every dairy farmer to supplement calcium in dairy cows, for an optimal start to lactation!Feeding advice1 bolus 12-24 hours before calving.1 bolus immediately after calving.1 bolus 10-12 hours after calving.1 bolus 24 hours after calving.Supportive after milk fever therapy1 bolus 2 hours after an intravenous calcium treatment.1 bolus 12 hours after an intravenous calcium treatment.Administer orally using a suitable applicator.The bolus can be administered using the white rings in the bolus applicator (36 mm). Good to know: This Direct Calcium Bolus is the successor to the Excellent Calcium Bolus Gold (CALC05018 and CALC05019).

Around calving, milk production starts up and a cow needs a lot of calcium and energy in a short time, while she often eats less. This collection contains complementary feeds for that transition period: calcium and energy boluses, drinks and liquid energy. They are not medicines; you use them according to the feeding advice on the label.

Choose by form: bolus, drink or liquid

The Dairy Fresh Cow Starter Box contains both Dairy boluses, twelve of each: white caps for calcium, yellow for energy. Handy if you want to work with one box around calving.

Packaging and administration

Boluses come in small and large packs, such as 4 or 24 for Dairy and 4 or 12 for Direct Bolus; choose based on the number of cows you expect to calve in a period. Check the diameter of the bolus and whether your bolus applicator fits it: according to the manufacturer, the Dairy Calcium Bolus is given with a 36 mm stainless steel applicator. Prop Top is also intended for sheep and goats.

Points to note

A supplement does not replace a good dry-cow ration; consult your vet or feed adviser before you use supplements. If a cow is eating poorly, stays lying down or you are unsure about her condition, call your vet. Bolus applicators are in boluses and minerals, drench guns in drenching. You will find obstetric supplies in calving aids and the rest for the calving period in calving.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a bolus and a drink?
A bolus is given with an applicator and stays in the rumen for a while. A drink or drench is given as a liquid in one go. Which form suits depends on how you work and on the advice of your vet or feed adviser.

When do I give a calcium bolus?
Follow the feeding advice on the label; it states the timing around calving for each product. Agree this with your vet.

Are these products medicines?
No, they are complementary feeds and dietetic feeds. With a sick cow, always call in your vet.
