How to use the AHV Booster
AHV Booster Bolus
The AHV Booster range is part of several AHV programs and their products to support Udder Health, Uterine Health, Energy, Transition and Calves.
Provide 1 bolus one time per animal orally using a suitable AHV Cow bolus applicator.
Wait for the feed bolus to be (re)swallowed or allow the cow to stand 15 minutes prior to applying the product.
AHV Booster Powder
Add 2.2 pound (1 bag) of the product to 700 fluid ounce of lukewarm water per animal and mix thoroughly.
Can be repeated after 12 hours.
Stir the Booster Powder into the water. Make sure no lumps remain.
Attach the drench pump and make sure everything is properly attached.
Insert the tube into the cow’s mouth and attach the nose clip to the nose.
Slide the hose into the tube. Push the hose into the tube up to the red line on the hose.
Listen closely. You should hear some gurgling via the hose.
Smell the stomach contents via the hose. This way you can be sure that the tube is placed correctly.
Start pumping and make sure that the entire content of the drench pump end up in your cow’s stomach.
Always lift the hose when removing it. This is to prevent your cow from suddenly getting a large amount of water in her lungs.
Please note: Dry cows benefit from highly available fast energy. Consider using 100 grams of Booster powder as top dressing, twice daily.
Please note: Recently calved cows benefit from a boost of energy and water replenishment after calving. Provide Booster Powder as a after calving drink to be drunk voluntarily (1kg/20L of lukewarm water).

Science & Validation
Backed by Science, Trusted in the Field
Effect of Booster Bolus on postpartum beta-hydroxybutyrate levels in dairy cows
University of Minnesota, 2023.
A study was done on two dairy farms to see the effect of Booster Bolus around calving. The bolus was given to 165 cows before around freshening. The control group consisted of 160 cows.
The goal was to see if Booster reduces the risk of (sub)clinical ketosis based on BHB levels in the blood. High BHB levels can mean cows are not healthy after calving. Blood was tested one week after calving. Cows that got the Booster Bolus prior to calving had lower BHB levels (0.70 mmol/L) than those that didn’t (0.77 mmol/L). And showed a significant reduction in ketosis of 34%.
