Action
Calpro Bolus is an oral calcium bolus designed for adult cows over 400kg. After administration of Calpro Bolus, the wax coating dissolved in the rumen and the bolus disintegrates completely within 50 minutes. The calcium chloride is rapidly absorbed, and the calcium sulphate is absorbed over a longer period. The standard dose regime of two boluses administered 12 hours apart will provide a sustained supply of calcium over 24 hours.
Active Constituents:
Each 203g bolus contains: Calcium Chloride 114.3g and Calcium Sulphate 45.7g
Equivalent to 43g Calcium
