OSTOVET SYRUP (XXL)
About Ostovet Syrup (XXL)
Ostovet is a liquid calcium and phosphorus feed supplement from Virbac for dairy cattle. It also contains vitamin D3 to help absorb these minerals, vitamin B12 and carbohydrates for energy.
Virbac positions Ostovet to help sustain high milk yield, support strong bones and supply essential minerals and vitamins. A high-yielding cow loses a lot of calcium in her milk every day, so a regular mineral top-up is common practice on dairy farms.
Virbac describes Ostovet as a feed supplement, not a medicine. Milk fever (sudden low calcium around calving) is an emergency that needs a vet.
