BOOSTER

The AHV Booster Products promote the animal’s metabolism in the liver and rumen, and provides sustained or fast additional energy.

The body allocates and reallocates energy to where it is most needed (i.e., prioritizing it to maintain or start the most critical processes, which can be a struggle with energy allocation due to (production) predisposition of the animal).

This also means, that if energy allocation is moved to secondary/reactive systems like the immune system, or is simply missing, other processes and therewith (milk) production and/or growth, are compromised as a result.

What farmers say about the AHV Booster products

“When a cow faces production challenges, you use an AHV Booster Bolus and the next day you see that the production has returned to the old level.“
Thijs van GastelNispen, The Netherlands
“Cows that start lactating too quickly and are not in optimal condition after one month are given an AHV Booster Bolus. Over a period of 10 days, the body condition is more clearly restored, which helps to bring things back into balance.”
Mathieu CardietBrittany, France
“Whenever we see the red line of the milk yield on the robot going down, we always give an AHV Booster Bolus. After 4 to 5 days, you can see that this line is rising again, which is very nice to see.”
Marjolein van RooijenGroningen, The Netherlands
“I have used the AHV Booster on a number of cows over the past few weeks with extremely positive results obtained on all occasions. The cows appear more alert after the drench is administered.”
Chris CatherwoodCo. Down, Northern Ireland
“When a cow has difficulties in reaching her lactation peak, milk production drops or body condition deteriorates, we give her one to two tubs of AHV Booster. We can see an improvement in health and production, especially for multiparous cows.”
Sylvie & Jean-YvesBrittany, France
