what's make our boluses unique
The Science Behind Our Product​
Why EnduraBol®?
The boluses are formed in a single construction with single point erosion, meaning they break down to provide a consistent 120 – 240 day supply of six trace elements and three vitamins.
EnduraBol® is suitable for all cattle over 150kg live weight.
How the Bolus Works
Once each bolus reaches a cow’s reticulum, the top of the resin coating begins to chip away exposing the consistent surface area. Here, the trace elements and vitamins are held in a matrix structure that allows them to be released slowly and consistently. When the resin coating reaches the bottom of the bolus, it exposes the iron weight, which is then dissolved, leaving no residue or waste.
