A concentration of technology
The bolus is a nutritional solution that is attracting an increasing number of farmers because it is a practical, technical and economical way of ensuring that the herd’s mineral requirements are met. In a single application, all requirements can be covered for a few hours up to a few months (depending on the formula). The release guarantees that each animal receives a daily supply.
A bolus-based approach saves time and avoids waste. A bolus is, first, a way of controlling mineral diffusion over time and the precise nature of feed supplements. At Neolait, each bolus is subjected to disintegration tests in the laboratory as well as at the experimental site. They are approved on the basis of baseline farming techniques (weighing, blood tests…).
We have been creating boluses since 1992 and we have become the undeniable leader on the French and international market.
Our bolus range is the most extensive on the market and perfectly reflects the animal nutritional objectives., Bolus disintegration can range from 1 hour 30 minutes to 250 days.
The range therefore responds to several different objectives, such as growth whilst grazing, dry-off and lactation…
