Preventing and treating milk disease
This complementary feed is the new solution against milking disease. With the “Start Up Boost Bolus” a completely new approach to milk disease is introduced. Thanks to this bolus the solution for the calcium and any phosphorus deficiency comes from the cow herself. New she is able to provide herself with the correct calcium and phosphorus levels also during the extreme peak around calving. The ingredient that does the work is calcitriol (1,25- dihydroxycholecalciferol glycoside). Calcitriol is extracted from dried and crushed leaves of Solanum glaucophylum. Calcitriol causes the animal to maintain her calcium level in different ways:
- The cow retrieves more calcium and phosphorus from her feed
- The cow has a lower calcium excretion through urine
- The cow can release more calcium from her own bone system
Benefits
✓ Stimulates the cow’s own metabolism to maintain the calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood
✓ The cow can extract more calcium and phosphorus from the blood
✓ Lower calcium excretion via urine
✓ The cow can extract more calcium from her own bone system
✓ 10 days active
✓ Only 1 bolus per treatment required
