Natural Care Products: Bovikalc®
Indication

Helps maintaining normal serum calcium level in dairy cows around parturition

Characteristics

Bovikalc® is a neutraceutical which helps maintaining calcium level in dairy cows around parturition. The Bovikalc® boluses consist of two calcium sources, calcium chloride and calcium sulphate. When administered, the bolus will disintegrate quickly in the rumen. The calcium chloride will be available immediately, while the calcium sulphate will provide long term release of calcium.

  • Two highly effective sources of calcium
  • 100% utilization of calcium (bolus) - no waste
  • Fat coating of the bolus protects the throat and oesophagus
  • Easy to administer - bolus gun
  • Minimized risk of misswallowing
  • Documented efficacy
