FAQ

How do you administer a bolus to a cow?

The bolus is placed at the back of the animal's mouth, stimulating swallowing. It is recommended to do this with the head slightly elevated to facilitate passage into the rumen. If you have any doubts, consult your veterinarian for safe administration.

Is it safe for young calves?

Yes, provided the dosage is adjusted to the calf's weight and condition. However, it is essential to consult a veterinarian before using it in young animals to avoid overdosing. It should not be administered to animals with kidney problems without supervision.

How often can the treatment be repeated?

The frequency depends on the animal's metabolic needs. Generally, a bolus is administered and the response is assessed. In cases of severe hypocalcemia, the veterinarian may recommend repeating the dose after 12–24 hours. Do not use more than recommended without consulting a veterinarian.

How are bowling pins preserved?

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children. Keep the container closed until ready to use. Do not use after the expiration date printed on the packaging.

Can it be used on sheep or goats?

Although designed for larger ruminants, its use in sheep or goats should be evaluated by a veterinarian, as dosages and requirements may vary. Its use without prior consultation is not recommended.

How long does it take to take effect?

The boluses begin to release calcium and phosphorus gradually in the first few hours after administration. Clinical improvement is usually observed within 2-4 hours, but the full effect depends on the severity of the deficiency and the animal's condition.

This product requires a veterinary prescription. Consult your veterinarian.
