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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">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.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The perfect choice for any dairy farmer to supplement calcium in dairy cows for an optimal start to lactation!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Feeding Advice<br \/><\/strong>1 bolus 12-24 hours before calving.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">1 bolus immediately after calving.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">1 bolus 10-12 hours after calving.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">1 bolus 24 hours after calving.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><em>Supportive after lactic acid therapy<br \/><\/em>1 bolus 2 hours after infusion treatment with calcium.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">1 bolus 12 hours after infusion treatment with calcium.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">Administer orally with an appropriate applicator.<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\">The bolus can be inserted using the white rings in the bolus launcher (36 mm).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 10pt;\"><strong>Content<br \/><\/strong>DIRE012 -
