Product description

The Topro Energy bolus is a dietetic mineral feed for dairy cows in the form of a bolus for oral administration, to reduce the risk of ketosis.

It is a common ailment in dairy cattle: ketosis, also referred to as acetonemia. Research has shown that in the first two months after calving more than one out of ten cows suffers from clinical ketosis (Veeteelt, February 2nd, 2012). The percentage of cows suffering from subclinical ketosis is much higher. Ketosis originates from a negative energy balance. This is caused by the tremendous increase in milk production after calving, with feed intake lagging behind, leading to an energy shortage for the lactating cow.

Quick available energy

The Topro Energy bolus dissolves quickly and is administered to dairy cows after calving and during the start-up of milk production. The bolus contains readily available energy in the form of calcium propionate.

Instructions for application:

• 2 boluses at calving, or in case of a strong negative energy balance
• 2 boluses 12 hours later
• 1 or 2 boluses 24 hours later
• 1 or 2 boluses 36 hours later
• Administer using a suitable bolus applicator.
• It is recommended that a veterinarian’s or nutritionist’s opinion be sought before use
