How to use Bovikalc Dry?

To be used in dairy cows at drying off.

Give 2 boluses at last milking or 8-12 hours before the last milking.

Do not administer more than 4 boluses per 24 hours.

Please discuss protocol with Herd Nutritionist and/or Herd Veterinarian before implementation.

Place the bolus in the bolus applicator with the rounded end pointing outward.

If right- handed, place yourself at the cow’s right side.

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 BOVIKALC applicator into the cow’s mouth.

When you feel resistance, gently guide the applicator over the tongue. When the applicator is behind the tongue, squeeze the handle to release the bolus.

Wait a moment for the cow to swallow and then remove the applicator.
