Today’s dairy cows are being dried off at higher milk production levels than ever before, which can have negative impacts on cow health and welfare during the dry period. Udder engorgement and milk leakage can leave cows entering dry-off at a heightened risk for new cases of mastitis.
 
BOVIKALC^® DRY boluses offer innovative technology that supports dry cow health and comfort by reducing milk production at dry-off, which helps to reduce udder engorgement and milk leakage.³

Dry-off is an important phase of the lactation cycle because it prepares the cow and her udder for the next lactation. BOVIKALC^® DRY helps provide a more comfortable dry-off by reducing udder engorgement and milk leakage³. In a recent study, cows given BOVIKALC DRY had:

• Reduced somatic cell counts¹
• Reduced risk for clinical mastitis¹
• Reduced risk for removal from the herd¹
• Increased comfort and lying time²

Give two boluses at last milking or 8-12 hours before the last milking.

Do not administer more than 4 boluses per 24 hours.

Ask your Boehringer Ingelheim representative for a BOVIKALC^® bolus applicator.
