Significant effect of Booster Tablet on ketosis
University of Minnesota, 2023.
A study was conducted on two dairy farms to evaluate the effect of the Booster Tablet around calving. The bolus was given to 165 cows before and after freshening. The control group consisted of 160 cows.
The goal was to see if Booster reduces the risk of (sub)clinical ketosis based on BHB levels in the blood. High BHB levels can mean cows are not healthy after calving. Blood was tested one week after calving. Cows that got the Booster Tablet prior to calving had lower BHB levels (0.70 mmol/L) than those that didn’t (0.77 mmol/L). And showed a significant reduction in ketosis of 34%.
Further field trials across France, UK and Ireland including 13 farms and 348 cows showed that cows receiving Booster:
- Produced 2-4 KG more during the first 100 days in lactation
- Spent 13 hours longer ruminating
- Had improved fertility (15% increase in-calf rate, 7-day reduction in days open)
