Calcitop

Milk fever prevention with a calcium bolus. Our calcium bolus Calcitop is a fast-acting calcium supplement designed to solve a calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia) around calving. This deficiency will cause a lower feed intake and milk production and could potentially lead to (subclinical) milk fever. Especially from the second calving and later cows are sensitive to it. You can read everything about milk fever on our blog. Our calcium bolus can be used for cows over 250 kg
To help prevent milk fever even better, we designed probably the best calcium bolus in the world. So how is this new formula better than the old one? Simple! In every way… The new Calcitop has more calcium, more phosphorus, more magnesium, and more vitamin D3. Hold your breath, because we are going to dive into the numbers!
The amount of calcium is increased by 22%: from 21,3 grams per bolus to 26 grams
The amount of phosphorus is increased by 70%: from 4,7 grams per bolus to 8 grams
The amount of magnesium is increased by 25%: from 0,9 grams per bolus to 1,2 grams
The vitamin D3 is increased by 30%: from 17 000 UI per bolus to 22 135UI

Benefits:
Instant release of calcium
Each bolus contains 26 grams of calcium, 8 grams of phosphorus
Contains 22 135 UI vitamin D3 per bolus for an even better calcium absorption
Prevention of calcium deficiency and milk fever
Beneficial effects on important health parameters like insemination, culling mastitis, uterine disorders, and lameness. Read the study.
Easy administration: 2 boluses fit in one applicator
Acute milk fever treatment: after a calcium infusion to get the cow back on her feet the calcium levels remain low and need to be further increased by administering extra calcium through a calcium bolus

Why a bolus?
