A Hungarian university study on the effect of our calcium bolus
Description
Calcium supplementation is crucial for cows around calving as hypocalcemia (milk fever) can have many secondary diseases as a consequence. Given that 5% of dairy cows in large and high-producing dairy farms get clinical milk fever, and 50% subclinical milk fever it goes without saying that the economic losses are substantial. In an earlier blog I wrote on our website, you could read about the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of milk fever. Calcitop is of course a supplement to prevent milk fever from happening. You can read more about this bolus on the product page. However, according to a Hungarian study, Calcitop also prevents many secondary diseases.

Our calcium bolus Calcitop is a fast-acting calcium supplement designed to solve a calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia) around calving. This deficiency will cause a lower feed intake and milk production and could potentially lead to (subclinical) milk fever. Especially from the second calving and later cows are sensitive to it. You can read everything about milk fever on our blog.

Milk fever is a complex metabolic disease in cows that usually occurs around calving and most commonly in high-yielding dairy cows from three years and older. The average cost, including medicines, veterinary services, and estimated production loss, amounts up to 334 USD per case (or 0,01 Bitcoin at the time of writing, but that has probably already changed by now). Calcitop bolus is an easy solution to prevent all this from happening. And to give the cows and farmer an even better protection we have created an improved formula.

When rearing calves, farmers strive for regular growth of their animals. This can only be achieved when the calves get enough food and when farmers ensure that the animals remain healthy. A common, yet underexposed, problem to the calves’ health is coccidiosis (also named eimeriosis). A 2011 study in Austria showed that only 45% of the farmers were familiar with the term “coccidia”. So, what is this? What is coccidiosis in calves? Coccidiosis is an important parasitic disease of vertebrate animals (including calves and adult cattle) and is a common cause of scours. The infection is mainly seen in calves from 3 weeks up to approximately 1 year of age and is highly prevalent on cattle farms. This high prevalence causes a big financial impact to farms due to reduced growth or even death of calves.
