Description
Agrimin 24-7 Calcium Cattle Bolus
Support Dairy Cows at Calving with a Fast and Sustained Calcium Supply
The Agrimin 24-7 Calcium Cattle Bolus is a short-term, sustained-release calcium supplement designed to support adult dairy cows weighing over 400kg during calving. Each bolus delivers a high level of readily available calcium to help maintain normal calcium levels at one of the most demanding stages of the production cycle.
Once administered, the bolus coating dissolves in the rumen before breaking down completely within approximately 50 minutes. This dual-action formulation combines rapidly absorbed calcium chloride with slower-releasing calcium sulphate, providing both an immediate and sustained supply of calcium when it is needed most.
Ideal for use as part of an overall transition cow management programme, the Agrimin 24-7 Calcium Cattle Bolus can also be used alongside existing calcium supplementation regimes.

How It Works
Following administration, the protective coating dissolves in the rumen, allowing the bolus to disintegrate completely within around 50 minutes.
The formulation contains two calcium sources:
- Calcium chloride for rapid absorption and immediate calcium availability.
- Calcium sulphate for slower absorption, helping to provide a sustained supply of calcium over time.
This dual-release action offers effective nutritional support during the high-risk calving period.
