Overview
1. Insert the bolus into the bolus applicator, rounded end facing front. 2. If you're right-handed, stand to the right of the cow. Raise the cow's head by grabbing its upper jaw with your left hand. Keep the cow's head up and a bit to the side of you. 3. Gently insert one Bovikalc bolus into the cow's mouth with the Bovikalc applicator. When you sense resistance, move the applicator over the tongue softly. 4. Press the handle to release the bolus when the Bovikalc applicator is as far back in the cow's mouth as feasible. Take away the applicator. Give one bolus of Bovikalc shortly after or before calving, followed by a second bolus 12 hours later. In the rumen, the Bovikalc bolus will swiftly dissolve. The calcium chloride is immediately accessible, but the calcium sulfate will offer calcium release over time. Boluses are administered to the cow with the use of a special Bovikalc bolus applicator, which may be purchased separately.
