Ferti Plus

The Ferti Plus bolus is a revolutionary mineral formula for cattle, suitable for both young stock and adult cattle. With a duration of action of 6 months, this bolus is an efficient and cost-effective way to support the growth, fertility, and health of your livestock.

Our bolus contains a unique composition of vitamins and minerals specifically tailored to the needs of cattle. Field research has shown that the Ferti Plus bolus leads to:

• Optimal growth;
• Ideal mineral supply;
• Improved fertility;
• Higher calving weight.

The recommended feeding advice is 2 Ferti Plus boluses per animal weighing 150 kg or more. The bolus begins to dissolve slowly from the flat side, and the coating around the bolus ensures that it dissolves gradually over a period of 180 days (6 months). Administering 2 boluses is necessary, as this meets current requirements for trace elements and vitamins. Furthermore, the two boluses tap against each other, ensuring a constant release.

It is recommended to administer 2 Ferti Plus boluses to young stock when turning them out to pasture and 2 boluses when housing them.

Field research shows that the Ferti Plus bolus leads to a 40-day reduction in the age at first calving for heifers. In addition, the bolus leads to a 75% reduction in the number of inseminations per probable conception. The Ferti Plus bolus also leads to an average growth of 134 kg, compared to 121 kg in animals without an administered bolus. This is a difference of 13 kg or 10%.

If you are looking for an effective way to support the growth, fertility, and health of your cattle, the Ferti Plus bolus is the perfect choice. The bolus is a cost-effective solution that pays for itself. So, is your young stock heading to the barn or the pasture? The Ferti Plus bolus belongs with them!

Why more and more farmers are choosing a mineral bolus:

Providing a mineral bolus to cows is an effective way to support the health of your herd. Unlike powdered minerals, a bolus is administered directly into the cow's stomach using a suitable bolus applicator, ensuring that the minerals are released continuously for 6 months. This helps to maintain a constant mineral balance and prevent any deficiencies.

One of the advantages of using a bolus is the ease of administration. Instead of providing minerals in powder form via the mouth, a bolus only needs to be given once. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.

Another advantage of a bolus is the improved absorption of minerals. Because the bolus is administered directly into the stomach, mineral absorption can be improved compared to giving minerals in powder form via the mouth.

Additionally, the use of a bolus leads to less contamination in the barn. This is because there is no loss of minerals due to spilled feed or the cow's behavior.

One of the most important advantages of boluses is that they are not dependent on the cow's taste. This means that ingredients that are not very palatable, but which are necessary for maintaining the cow's health, such as certain minerals or vitamins, can be incorporated into the bolus without the cow being aware of it and without depending on whether the cow wants to eat it.

In summary; a mineral bolus offers many benefits for supporting herd health, such as a continuous release of minerals, easy administration, better absorption, less contamination in the barn, and no dependency on the choice of ingredients because palatability is irrelevant!
