Norbrook launch long-acting bolus to cut risk of milk fever

A new long-acting cattle bolus to reduce the risk of milk fever has been launched by Norbrook Laboratories Ltd.

Calcitrace D3 is the first and only long-acting bolus to offer slow- and fast-releasing calcium, to provide sustained calcium levels for 48 to 72 hours. In addition, Calcitrace D3 provides magnesium, phosphate and vitamin D3.

A smooth gelatin-coated bolus with a rounded tip for easier administration, it is smaller than other boluses, making trauma during administration less likely.
