Description

Direct Calcium Bolus
Dietetic 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 bolus
Shortly 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 advice
1 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 therapy
1 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).
