Description

Agrimin Calcium Bolus is a short term, sustained release bolus containing calcium. Intended for use in adult dairy cows, over 400 kg liveweight, at calving.

After administering boluses, the coating on the bolus dissolves in the rumen and the bolus disintegrates completely within a 50 minute period.  The calcium chloride is rapidly absorbed, and the calcium sulphate is absorbed over a longer period, giving a sustained supply of calcium.

Benefits

• Large daily supply of calcium – 43 g in each bolus
• Bolus dissolves and supplies calcium within 50 minutes of administration
• Calcium from bolus available as chloride (fast release) and sulphate (slow release) – peace of mind for the farmer
• None of the palatability problems associated with gels and pastes
• Can be used in conjunction with existing calcium supplementation regime
• MEAT AND MILK WITHHOLDING PERIOD – NIL

•  Administration

  1) Pre and post calving regime:

  • Administer one bolus at the first sign of calving
  • Administer a second bolus 12 – 15 hours after the first bolus

  •  2) Post calving regime:

    • Administer one bolus immediately after calving (or sub-cutaneous calcium injection)
    • Administer a second bolus 12 – 15 hours after the first bolus
