Protect your herd during critical phases. Discover effective boluses, pastes, and supplements for calves and cows.

Feed Additives for Cattle: Targeted Support for Health, Fertility, and Vitality

In modern cattle farming and calf rearing, standard forage and feed are often insufficient during critical phases. High-quality feed additives (complementary feeds) help to purposefully compensate for nutrient deficiencies, prevent metabolic diseases, and accelerate recovery. Whether in the form of boluses, pastes, liquids, or organic straight feeds – modern additives secure animal health and ensure the economic success of your farm.

Targeted Solutions for Rumen, Metabolism, and Calf Rearing

Depending on the life stage and health challenge, different supplemental products are utilized:

  • Metabolism & Calving Period: Around calving, the risk of milk fever (calcium deficiency) or ketosis (energy deficiency) is particularly high. Special calcium boluses (e.g., Calzogol, Ca-PILL), energy boluses (Ket-o-Vital, E-PILL), or liquids (Calz-o-Phos Liquid) balance deficits within seconds.
  • Rumen & Digestive Regulation: Rumen acidosis (over-acidification) or sluggish rumen activity damages the internal microbiology. Products like the pH-PILL or S-PILL stabilize the rumen environment sustainably.
  • Calf Health & Diarrhea Prevention: Newborn calves require high-quality colostrum (e.g., Globigen) for a robust immune system. In cases of acute calf diarrhea, dietary complementary feeds (Globigen Dia Stop, Bi-PILL) and electrolyte-rich calf energizers help to quickly halt fluid and electrolyte loss.
  • Fertility & Vitamins: Beta-carotene boluses (Fertigol) support fertility and heat signs, while liquid vitamins (Vitamulgol) strengthen general immunity.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the advantages of boluses over powders or liquids?
A bolus (pill) is swallowed directly using a suitable applicator. This guarantees precise dosing without any product waste and ensures that the animal absorbs the active ingredients immediately and completely. Furthermore, boluses are ideal for individual animal treatment.

Why is formic acid useful in calf rearing?
Formic acid is used in low doses to acidify calf milk (whole milk). This lowers the pH value, inhibits germ growth in the milk, and supports protein digestion in the calf's young stomach, effectively preventing diarrhea.

Complementary Feed and Vitamins for Acute Care and Prevention

Needs-based feeding requires targeted supplementation during stressful or high-performance periods. In our range, you will find a wide selection of veterinary-proven feed additives for cattle and calves. We offer high-dose calcium and energy products to prevent milk fever and ketosis, as well as highly effective diarrhea stoppers and electrolytes for successful calf rearing. For specific deficiencies, such as phosphorus or selenium deficiency, we provide the ideal solution with the P-PILL and Se-PILL.

Our offering is complemented by natural components like certified organic sunflower cake or organic oats, which serve as valuable protein and energy suppliers. Rely on proven brand quality from Kerbl, Agrochemica, and Vuxxx for a healthy and high-performing herd.
