Product Information

Full details

The Agrimin All-Trace Dry Cow bolus is an essential nutritional tool designed for dairy farmers and livestock managers looking to support cattle during the critical transition period. By providing a controlled, sustained release of six trace elements and three vitamins over 120 days, it ensures cows maintain stable nutrient levels during the drying-off stage and pre-calving. While highly effective at bridging the gap between grazing and calving, it is important to note that the application requires the administration of two boluses simultaneously to achieve the necessary dosage for animals weighing over 400kg.

Are there vitamins included in the bolus?

Is this suitable for milking cows?

This product is specifically formulated for dairy cows at the drying-off stage and for pre-calving heifers.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty administering the bolus

Ensure the cow's head is properly restrained and the applicator is correctly positioned at the back of the tongue to trigger the swallowing reflex.

Unsure if the bolus was swallowed

Observe the cow for a few moments after administration to ensure no regurgitation occurs; if in doubt, check the mouth before the animal is released.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the effectiveness of the Agrimin All-Trace Dry Cow bolus, follow these handling and application guidelines:

Animal Eligibility: Ensure the cow is at the drying-off stage or is a pre-calving heifer and weighs at least 400kg.
Administration: Using a designated Agrimin applicator, insert two boluses simultaneously into the back of the mouth.
