Bovikalc® Dry

Bovikalc Dry is a comfortable drying method for all dairy cows.

Bovikalc Dry is a mineral supplement with anionic salts. This can be administered to dairy cows at the time of drying off.

The average production of dairy cattle in the Netherlands compared to 100 years ago has tripled. A major achievement! However, when cows are dried off, mammary glands continue to produce milk for several days. The result of this milk retention is swelling of the udder and increased udder pressure. Swelling and pressure of the udder causes discomfort and pain, which can manifest itself, among other things, in a reduction in lying time.

Bovikalc Dry is a mineral supplement with anionic salts, which can be administered to dairy cows at the time of drying off.

  • Drying off is a stressful period for all dairy cows.
  • When milking is stopped, milk accumulates in the udder, causing a swollen udder.
  • Increased pressure in the udder causes pain and discomfort for the cow.
  • Engorgement and leakage of milk from the udder makes the cow susceptible to infections.

The general advice is to dry off cows with less than 12 liters of milk.

Bovikalc Dry helps to reduce milk production and makes the cow dry more comfortably.
The main effect of Bovikalc Dry is the reduction of milk production at the time of drying off.
