CalciCure Fresh Cow Bolus

Oral Calcium Nutritional Supplement

Milky White to Yellowish Colored Solid

An oral calcium supplement for use around parturition in fresh dairy cows, for fast and sustained release of calcium supplement.

The CalciCure^® Fresh Cow Bolus disintegrates completely within 60 minutes following administration to cows. The calcium chloride dissolves quickly in the rumen, while the calcium sulfate dissolves only after being converted to a soluble salt by the ruminal microflora, which provides a sustained release of calcium supplement. Each bolus has a Palm Oil coating that aids in the mechanical administration of the bolus.

Minimum Feeding Protocol:

1^st CalciCure^® Fresh Cow Bolus immediately after calving; and 2^nd CalciCure^® Fresh Cow Bolus 12 to 24 hours after calving.

Extended Feeding Protocol - For high yielding dairy cows, and for cows with a previous history of milk fever upon freshening:

1^st CalciCure^® Fresh Cow Bolus at the first signs, or onset of parturition;

3^rd CalciCure^® Fresh Cow Bolus 12 to 24 hours after calving; and

Feeding Instructions:

Step 1: Place the bolus in a suitable bolus applicator, with the rounded end pointing outward. If right-handed, place yourself at the cow’s right side. (Graphic 1: Bolus being placed into the applicator)

Step 2: Grab the cow’s upper jaw with your left hand. Keep the cow’s head at a natural position and a little towards yourself. Gently guide the loaded bolus applicator into the cow’s mouth. (Graphic 2: Loaded bolus applicator introduced into the cow’s mouth.)

Step 3: When you feel resistance, gently guide the loaded bolus applicator over the tongue. When the loaded bolus applicator is pushed beyond the tongue into the throat of the cow, squeeze the handle of the applicator to release the bolus. (Graphic 3: Loaded bolus applicator is pushed beyond the tongue into the cow’s throat.)

Step 4. Wait a moment for the cow to swallow the bolus, then remove the applicator. (Graphic 4: Unloaded applicator being removed, and bolus being swallowed by the cow)
