Mastitis bolus

Our mastitis bolus Mammitop Clinic is a slow-release cattle supplement that is developed to be applied at signs of udder inflammation. It should be used at moments of increasing cell count and when udder problems are showing. In this way, it helps at lowering the farmer's use of traditional antibiotics and it averts a production stop.

Our mastitis bolus Mammitop Sheep is a slow-release sheep supplement that is developed to prevent the development of clinical mastitis after lambing or in situations with increasing cell count. In this way, it helps at lowering the farmer's use of traditional antibiotics and it averts a production stop. Our mastitis bolus can be used for sheep over 40 kg.

Our mastitis bolus Mammitop Small is a slow-release sheep supplement that is developed to prevent the development of clinical mastitis after lambing or in situations with increasing cell count. It has a slow release of 21 days. A trial was conducted at the University of Leon in Spain. 52 sheep received a Mammitop Small bolus and 53 sheep were in the control group. The trial looked at the evolution of milk production, cheese production, somatic cell count, and urea in milk.

Success at the first insemination is key to optimal reproductive performance in dairy cows. The fertility of lactating dairy cows has reportedly decreased over the last decades. In pasture-based systems, such as in Ireland and New Zealand, conception rates to the first insemination vary between 39 and 52%, while the rates in feedlot systems are as low as 30 to 40% [1]. A failed insemination may lead to an increase in calving interval, insemination numbers, reproductive treatment, feeding, culling, and replacement heifers. All of these lead to additional costs that can sum up to an average of 290 euros [2].
