The Sustained Calcium Supplement
Milk fever is a metabolic disease caused by a low calcium blood level. A short time after calving the metabolism must mobilize a lot of calcium from the bones. This “mobilization start“ takes around 48 hours. In the meantime, there is a gap of calcium in the blood. This gap influences muscles and nerves in a negative way. Milk fever arises.
Cows with optimum calcium supply have a better start to lactation, are healthier, and produce more milk.
Ca3 BioFresh® offers:
* High levels of fast and slow availability calcium (45.5 g) and vitamin D3 (50,000 I.E.) per bolus! * calcium sources with varying release rates supply the cow evenly with calcium * very well tolerated by membranes – no irritation of the mouth, esophagus and rumen * no caustic calcium chloride * easy application and economical – one bolus per dose.
