Direct Calcium Bolus
Dietary feed for dairy cows in bolus form to supplement calcium in the period around calving to reduce the risk of milk fever and subclinical hypocalcemia.
Contains a combination of 2 highly absorbable calcium forms, calcium formate and calcium acetate, and provides 25 grams of available calcium per bolus.
Benefits Direct Calcium Bolus
- Easy and quick to administer
- Rapid absorption into the rumen fluid
- Broad-spectrum (fast- and long-acting) calcium supplement
Shortly before or after calving, a dairy cow may develop a shortage of calcium supply in the blood as calcium requirements increase sharply around calving. If the cow cannot replenish this supply quickly enough, calcium blood levels can become too low, resulting in visible signs of milk fever such as decreased appetite and activity, cold ears and less functioning skeletal and organ muscles. In a larger group (40-50%), however, symptoms are not immediately apparent, but low calcium levels can have consequences later in lactation.
The Direct Calcium Bolus is an easy-to-administer gelatin capsule that dissolves quickly in the rumen, so the contents containing calcium formate and calcium acetate are also quickly released. Due to the good absorbability of both calcium forms, the calcium becomes available to the cow quickly. This ensures a gradual rise in calcium levels, which is maintained over a longer period of time.
The perfect choice for any dairy farmer to supplement calcium in dairy cows for an optimal start to lactation!
