Key Features:
Provides calcium to fresh cows when they need it most.
– Immediately after calving, cows experience high levels of calcium loss through milk and colostrum. Even when signs aren’t visible, subclinical hypocalcemia can lead to a cascade of complications that could have been avoided.
Delivers two essential types of calcium: calcium chloride and calcium sulfate.
– These two calcium ingredients have been proven best in helping cows get back to optimum performing levels, while the ingredients in some other brands fall short.
A two-bolus protocol can make all the difference.
– Administering an oral calcium supplement at calving, and again 12 to 24 hours later, can provide much-needed calcium supplementation. This is especially critical in second-lactation-or-greater cows, even if on a balanced transition diet.
Not all boluses are created equal.
– A Bovikalc bolus dissolves completely just 30 minutes after reaching the rumen. Plus, its fat coating makes administration easier and safer for both workers and fresh cows.
Can boost an anionic-salt program.
– Anionic salts can reduce cases of subclinical hypocalcemia, but not necessarily eliminate them. According to research, even herds on a quality anionic-salts program can still benefit from the oral calcium supplementation that Bovikalc boluses deliver.
