Fresh cows off feed or coming out of calving are more likely to be running low on phosphorus and potassium than most producers realize. Solvet K Phos-Boost® gives beef and dairy operations an oral bolus built to support these levels fast, right when cows need it most.

Each bolus delivers dipotassium phosphate along with potassium and phosphate, targeting the demanding period following calving or any time a cow goes off feed. Solvet's own studies showed rapid uptake of phosphorus and potassium in serum within less than 2 hours of oral delivery, with therapeutic levels maintained for over 24 hours following each 2-bolus treatment, and administration did not appear to interfere with calcium or magnesium serum levels.

Hypophosphatemia is more common than many producers think, with roughly half of fresh dairy cows affected, showing up as muscle weakness, incoordination, and reduced feed intake. In a retrospective field study, 27 of 30 cows down with suspected milk fever benefited from K Phos-Boost® in addition to IV calcium treatment, and in an ongoing study, ketotic cows supplemented with K Phos-Boost® showed a more rapid recovery in milk production and rumination compared to existing therapeutic treatments alone.

Dosing is straightforward: give 2 boluses orally, once daily, for up to three days, using the K Phos-Boost® branded applicator. Each case comes with 12 boluses at 8.11 oz per bolus, and no withdrawal period for meat or withholding time for milk is required when used according to label.

Add K Phos-Boost® to your on-farm treatment protocol to help fresh and off-feed cattle recover faster and get back to normal production sooner.
