Bovikalc^® Dry Anionic Mineral Bolus Supplement

Oral mineral supplement helps maintain cow comfort by reducing milk production at dry-off. This is caused by inducing a slight and temporary metabolic acidosis. Reduction of milk production is beneficial for udder health because it decreases udder engorgement and pressure, which helps reduce discomfort. After administration, the bolus dissolves into the rumen within 30 minutes and the anionic salts are released and then absorbed, which impacts the cow’s acid-base balance.

Please discuss protocol with Herd Nutritionist and/or Herd Veterinarian before implementation. Place the bolus in the bolus applicator with the rounded end pointing outward. If right- handed, place yourself at the cow’s right side. Grab the cow’s upper jaw with your left hand. Keep the cow’s head at a natural position and a little towards yourself. Gently guide the loaded applicator into the cow’s mouth. When you feel resistance, gently guide the applicator over the tongue. When the applicator is behind the tongue, squeeze the handle to release the bolus. Wait a moment for the cow to swallow and then remove the applicator.
