Administration of Bolus

Remove packaging. Place the bolus in the bolus applicator with the rounded end pointing outward. 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 Cal-Boost 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. Allow access to water.
