Description

Calcium deficiency in cattle can cause sub clinical milk fever in as high as 70% of the herd due to the lack of Calcium in the blood, the cow will then have a lower feed intake and milk production. The cow will also be more sensitive to other diseases. In the case of acute “clinical milk fever” the cow goes down.

  • Calcitop bolus reduces the risk of milk fever by increasing the levels of Calcium in the blood.
  • Calcitop 2 boluses = 1 dose gives an instant release of Calcium of 52 grams from two different Calcium sources, Calcium phosphate, fast release and Calcium formate, slow release.
  • 1 dose of 2 boluses provides cow with 52g of calcium, 16g of phosphorus and 2.4g magnesium.
  • Also contains Vitamin D3, 466,000 Ul per 2 bolus dose.

 

Dosage recommendation

  • Option 1:

                 2 boluses prior to calving 12 to 24 hour (52g/Calcium)

                 or 2 boluses immediately after calving.

  • Option 2:

                 1 bolus prior to calving and 1 bolus immediately after calving (if required).

 

Do not attempt to administer a bolus to a “down cow” as she will not have the ability to swallow. In this instance it is recommended you use the AHD Metaboost or BlueCross CBG 40% Metabolic injection. Then administer Bolus if required once cow is standing.
