Cattle

Product Description

BoviBloat Plus contains a combination of two effective bloat-reducing active ingredients, surfactant Teric PE62 and Bovatec. In combination, these two powerful actives are designed to assist in the control and onset of pasture bloat caused by direct feeding at pasture.

Key Features:

  • Teric PE62 has strong anti-foaming properties even at small levels of intake.
  • Bovatec has a registered bloat claim: Aid in the reduction of bloat in cattle on pasture.
  • Contains minerals and trace elements that are considered to be of benefit under bloat-predisposing conditions.
  • Fortified with calcium, salt, magnesium and trace elements to assist in correcting common deficiencies associated with growing livestock grazing lush green pasture.
  • If used to control bloat, this product is acceptable for cattle destined for EU markets.

What is the value of it being dual-active and multi-action?

With one active ingredient, Bovatec® (ionophore) acting to elevate rumen function and in doing so reduce bloat development, and the other active, Teric PE62, controlling symptoms by rapidly dissolving bubbles, dual-active, multi-action bloat control products like BoviBloat Plus have proven to be very effective in aiding in the control of bloat under various predisposing conditions.

What is the benefit of a loose-lick formulation?

The trick with bloat control products is to ensure that livestock are going to consume effective amounts of active ingredients at the right time to reduce bloat when challenges occur. BoviBloat Plus’ palatable loose-lick formulation enables cattle to easily access the product at levels that provide an effective dose of both active ingredients.

For best results, we recommend using BoviBloat Plus as a part of an integrated bloat management program.

Product Appearance

BoviBloat Plus is a semi-granular, loose lick feed supplement. It appears as a light coffee colour. It is salty to the taste and has distinct sweet molasses smell.

Feeding Instruction

Free Access Feeding:

Offer BoviBloat Plus free access in tubs (200L drums or 1000L containers cut in half), ensuring an intake of 150g head/day for cattle. Animals will tend to control their own intake at this level.

Use one tub for 50 cows.

Mixed Rations:

Mix thoroughly together with other ingredients to make a complete mixed ration at a rate that enables you to feed 150g of BoviBloat Plus supplement per head per day.

BoviBloat Plus is partially weatherproof. Where possible, prevent rain from affecting the product. Where rainwater is unavoidable, use tubs (half 200 litre drums or half 20 litre drums are ideal) with vertical slits down the side and holes in the bottom to allow rainwater to drain out.
