Abstract
A preparation of a solid calcium bolus product with quick dissolution for preventing or treating hypocalcemia of dairy cows is described. Calcium chloride or the mixture with calcium propionate, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, vitamin D, calcium acetate, calcium iodate, calcium lactate or their combination in particle or powder form with water at a weight ratio of 100 (dry ingredients) against 10 to 60 (water) into a liquid mass, pouring the liquid mass into moulds, setting at room temperature for 0.1 to 10 hours to form into a solid calcium product and sealing to avoid the effect from air moisture. The sealed cover is removed prior to use the solid calcium product as calcium bolus, which is dissolved into water within 0.5 hour.
Claims9
A method of preparing a solid calcium bolus product for administering to dairy cows, said method comprising the steps of
- (a) mixing calcium chloride with the ingredients of calcium propionate, calcium carbonate, calcium phosphate, calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, vitamin D, calcium acetate, calcium iodate, calcium lactate or their combination in particle or powder form at 100 (calcium chloride) against 0 to 300 (said ingredients) on a weight basis to form a mixture;
- (b) adding water to said mixture at 10 to 60 (water) against 100 (said mixture) on a weight basis and mixing into a liquid mass;
- (c) pouring said mass into moulds;
- and
- (d) setting said mass in said moulds for 0.1 to 10 hours to form the solid calcium bolus product.
A method of preparing a solid calcium bolus product comprising sealing a package to separate the solid calcium bolus product from the air moisture effect and dissolving the solid calcium bolus product into water to have its dissolution within two hours after removing the package and contacting into the water.
