Viral issues during summer
H5N1 Bird Flu and Blue Tongue Virus (BTV) have reached U.S. and European herds. In the summer, dairy cows can be more susceptible to certain viral diseases, particularly due to heat stress, flies, and environmental factors. Calves are especially vulnerable to viral infections that cause diarrhea and fever, especially during the summer when heat stress and fly-borne transmission are worse.
AHV’s Solution
AHV’s science-backed approach supports herds quickly and completely, using a targeted strategy for viral disruption and immune support. It works by:
Improving milk yield and overall productivity
Providing rapid support during recovery periods
Stimulating feed intake and rumination
Booster
- Promotes liver and rumen metabolism
- Stimulates appetite, increases feed efficiency
- More milk, improved production, fewer health issues
Aspi
- Rapid support during recovery periods
- Modulates the immune system
- Improves tissue blood flow
When to use?
Proactive support
Administer Booster Tablet to all high-risk animals (e.g. fresh cows, high productive cows, dry cows).
For affected animals
Administer Aspi Liquid 500ml – 1L every 12 hours.
Use 1x Booster Tablet to simulate appetite.
Administer 1kg Booster Powder every 12 hours or 1-2 Booster Pastes every 12 hours if stronger support is needed.
Science & Validation

Effect of Booster Bolus on postpartum beta-hydroxybutyrate levels in dairy cows
University of Minnesota, 2023.
A study was done on two dairy farms to see the effect of Booster Bolus around calving. The bolus was given to 165 cows before around 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 Bolus 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 Tablet:
- Produced more during the first 100 days in lactation
- Spent more time ruminating
- Had improved fertility
