DairyStar Start Up Boost Bolus

The “Dairy Star Start Up Boost bolus” introduces a completely new approach to calcium and phosphorus deficiencies. The solution for the calcium and any phosphorus deficiency should come from the cow itself, so that it can provide itself with the correct calcium and phosphorus levels, even during the extreme peak around calving.

This solution is now available: in the form of calcitriol (1.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol glycoside). Calcitriol is extracted from dried and ground leaves of Solanum glaucophylum. It ensures that the animal can keep the calcium level at the correct level in various ways.

Agriprom, in collaboration with a veterinarian, has developed the Dairy Star Start Up Boost bolus that contains calcitriol. Administer the bolus two days before the expected calving time. The bolus delivers calcitriol to the cow over a period of ten days. This enables the cow to increase the calcium level in the blood through its own metabolism. The effectiveness of calcitriol for use in dairy cows is endorsed, among others, in an EFSA report (European food safety authority). The patented Start up boost bolus is marketed by Agriprom and is exclusively available from Agriprom dealers.

Advantages:

Calcitriol stimulates your own metabolism to increase the calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood

  • The cow can extract more calcium and phosphorus from the blood itself
  • She has lower urinary calcium excretion
  • The cow can release more calcium from its own bottling system
  • Effective for ten days after administration
  • Only 1 bolus required per treatment
