Se-PILL is a selenium and vitamin E bolus containing sodium selenite and vitamin E, designed to provide optimal selenium support for cows and calves. Low selenium levels may cause fertility problems, muscle weakness, pressure sores and retained placenta. Selenium deficiency may also affect newborn calves, causing muscle weakness and a reduced ability to suckle or stand. Se-PILL raises selenium levels and reduces muscle weakness.
Dosage: 1 bolus 3 weeks before the expected calving date.
Administration: orally, by mouth.
Pack size: 4 boluses
Provides the energy a cow needs during a negative energy balance, which may result from a rapid increase in milk production after calving. When a cow cannot obtain enough energy from feed, additional support is needed. The bolus contains sodium propionate, which provides extra energy and reduces ketone levels in the blood.
E-PILL can also be used to support treatment following ketosis or surgery for a displaced abomasum.
Dosage: 2 boluses per day for 2 consecutive days.
Administration: orally, by mouth.
Pack size: 4 boluses
pH-PILL is a bicarbonate bolus for cows with ruminal acidosis. It helps restore the rumen’s pH balance by raising its pH. Ruminal acidosis may be caused by insufficient physically effective roughage or an overly rapid increase in concentrate feeding at the start of lactation. Changes in the feed ration and heat stress may also cause ruminal acidosis. This prevents the rumen from functioning optimally, reducing the cow’s condition and milk yield and increasing the risk of metabolic disease. Symptoms include reduced milk fat, lower feed intake, reduced milk production and loose or poorly digested manure.
Dosage: 2 boluses per day, administered with an applicator for 2 consecutive days.
Administration: orally, by mouth.
Pack size: 4 boluses
Effective boluses for acidosis and dehydration. Bi-PILL is a sodium bicarbonate bolus for calves with diarrhoea, designed to improve appetite and increase fluid intake. During diarrhoea, calves lose both fluid and buffering substances and may develop acidosis. Bi-PILL can be used in organic production in accordance with Regulations (EC) No 834/2007 and (EC) No 889/2008.
Dosage: give calves 1 bolus immediately at the first signs of diarrhoea, followed by 1 bolus after each of the next 3 feeds.
Dairy cows: 4 boluses at one time.
Administration: orally, by mouth.
Pack size: 20 boluses
