Bovikalc Dry Anionic Mineral Boluses

Bovikalc Dry Anionic Mineral Boluses for dairy cattle is an oral mineral supplement to help reduce discomfort associated with drying off. This natural product creates a natural decrease in milk production at the end of the lactation cycle, resulting in less milk production and minimizing udder discomfort. Contains 2 types of calcium (calcium chloride and calcium sulfate), and ammonium chloride.

Once administered, the boluses dissolve in the rumen within 30 minutes. The minerals are absorbed into the intestines and the anionic salts modify the acid base balance, causing temporary reduction in the cow’s appetite and overall reduction in milk production. This results in less udder engorgement and prepares the udder for the next lactation. Helps improve cow welfare and has a positive impact on cow health.
