Our ketosis bolus Ketotop is a fast-acting cattle supplement designed as prevention of ketosis in cattle (acetonemia) on four different levels. Ketosis or acetonemia is caused by a lack of energy, often seen at the beginning of lactation.
Our ketosis bolus can be used for cows over 250 kg.
57 cows (with similar parity, age, physical health, and feed) of a big Chinese dairy group were divided into a Ketotop group and a control group. The oxtail blood was collected in the four weeks after calving to determine the BHBA in the blood of all cows in the two groupS and to determine if the cows had subclinical ketosis, clinical ketosis or no ketosis. No cows developed clinical ketosis, showing the great managment practises of this farm. Subclinical ketosis however was more than halved in the Ketotop group.
Ketotop can be used together with other boluses around calving, most notably with Calcitop and Mammitop. Ask our advice for all the possibilities.
