Dairy cow's milk production is determined to a large extent by the healthiness of the udders. Therefore, dairy farmers must pay the necessary attention to keeping "the production facilities" healthy to prevent subclinical or clinical mastitis. It is generally accepted that subclinical mastitis occurs when the somatic cell count is over 200.000, even without symptoms [1]. The damage caused by mastitis is not small. The average cost of clinical mastitis varies between studies. In the USA the average cost of a case of clinical mastitis in the first 30 days in lactation is a whopping 444 euros [2].

Given that 5% of dairy cows in large and high-producing dairy farms get clinical milk fever, and 50% subclinical milk fever it goes without saying that the economic losses are substantial. In an earlier blog I wrote on our website, you could read about the symptoms, treatment, and prevention of milk fever. Calcitop is of course a supplement to prevent milk fever from happening. You can read more about this bolus on the product page. However, according to a Hungarian study, Calcitop also prevents many secondary diseases.
