BILCIUM RICH
1 kg, 5 kg & 10 kg
Cows can be
hypocalcaemic and get
clinical milk fever, at any
stage of the season
The amount of calcium available to the cow depends on the dynamics of bone calcium metabolism and the
amount absorbed from the gut which is related to calcium intake, age, current calcium status, breed, calcium
requirements (growth, pregnancy, lactation), the type of calcium in the diet and other mineral and nutritional
interrelationships.
Benefits Of BILCIUM RICH
• Reduces the risk of Milk fever
• Increases milk production and its quality
• High lactation period
• Healthy growth
• Better fed conversion efficiency
LACTO BOOST
1 KG
• A PERFECT BLEND OF BYPASS FAT, YEAST CULTURE AND HERBAL
GALACTOGUE.
• Bypass fat:
• By pass fat does not interfere with the rumen as it has high melting
point. It directly acts in the intestine to get converted to instant
energy to give the boost.
Milk let down
• Herbal galactogogues helps increase in prolactin levels and also
maintain their levels high.
• Composition:
• Vitamin A,
• Vitamin D3,
• Vitamin E,
• Vitamin B12 and

• Indications:
• Anaestrus, Salient heat, Delayed Maturity, Lameness, Anorexia, General
Debility, Udder Development, better conception rates.
Vitamin A (Retinol)
• Not directly found in plants
• Carotenoids are converted enzymatically to Vit.A in intestinal
mucosa
• compared to Goats, Cattle have low enzymatic conversion activity
Benifits:
Reduced interval to first estrus
Increased conceprtion rates
Reduced frequency of follicular cysts
Deficiency of Vitamin A
Failure of Rhodopsin formation in the retina
Defects in bone growth and maturation
failure in spermatogenesis in males and fetal resorption in the
female
Edema of Joints and Brisket
• Vit D2(ergocalciferol) and
D3(cholecalciferol)
Deficiency:
Rickets
Calcium,Phosphorus
disturbances that leads to
hypocalcaemia
Vitamin E as a Biological
antioxidant
• Benifits:
• Reduce incidence of Retained placenta
• reduce metritis,cystic ovaries
Deficiency:
Muscle degeneration
White muscle disease
reproductive diorders
Vitamin B12
• Benifits: • Young ruminants require
• Formation of protein from supplement Vit.B12 prior to full
amino acids rumen development
• Carbohydrate and fat
metabolism
• RBC synthesis
• Deficiency:
• Wasting Disease
Vitamin H(Biotin)
• Normal function of thyroid,
adrenal glands, reproductive and
nervous system
• Deficiency:
• Scaly dermatitis
• Paralysis
• Defects in hoof
• Lameness
