Ostozone forte

Description:

Chelated Ostovet Forte is a veterinary nutritional supplement from Virbac, formulated for lactating dairy cattle, buffaloes, and other livestock (also suitable for pets like dogs and horses in smaller doses). It addresses nutritional deficiencies by quickly replenishing essential minerals and vitamins, improving feed efficiency, and supporting metabolic processes. The chelated form of minerals (e.g., copper) enhances uptake, while Vitamin D3 aids calcium mobilization. It is added to feed or water for daily use, promoting overall vitality, bone integrity, and productivity. Not for human consumption—veterinary use only.

Active Salts/Composition (per 1000 ml):

• Calcium (35,000 mg) – Essential for bone health, muscle function, and milk production.
• Phosphorus (17,500 mg) – Supports bone mineralization, energy metabolism, and calcium absorption.
• Vitamin D3 (150,000 IU) – Promotes calcium and phosphorus uptake for strong bones and teeth.
• Vitamin B12 (2,000 mcg) – Aids in red blood cell formation, nerve function, and energy utilization.
• Carbohydrates (280,000 mg) – Provides quick energy and supports metabolic activity.
• Trace Minerals: Cobalt (50 mg), Chromium (80 mg), Copper (1.2 g, chelated), Iodine (59 mg), Potassium (18 mg) – Enhance enzyme function, immunity, reproduction, and overall metabolic efficiency.
• Herbal Milk-Enhancing Extracts (proprietary blend) – Natural boosters for lactation and digestion.

This is a chelated liquid feed supplement (available in sizes like 500 ml, 1 L, 2 L, 5 L, 20 L) designed for high bioavailability, ensuring better absorption in the rumen of ruminants. It combines macro-minerals, vitamins, trace elements, and herbs without hormones or antibiotics.

Uses and Benefits:

Ostovet Forte is used to prevent and treat mineral-vitamin deficiencies in animals, particularly during lactation, growth, or stress periods. Key uses and benefits include:

1. Milk Production Enhancement:

• Use: Supplementation for high-yielding dairy cows to boost lactation yield.
• Benefits: Increases milk output by 10-20% through improved nutrient absorption and hormonal balance, leading to higher economic returns for farmers.

1. Bone and Joint Health:

• Use: Prevents osteoporosis, rickets, or weakness in calves and adult animals.
• Benefits: Strengthens bones and teeth via calcium-phosphorus synergy, reducing fracture risks and improving mobility for better grazing and handling.

1. Reproductive Health and Fertility:

• Use: Supports estrus cycles, conception rates, and postpartum recovery.
• Benefits: Enhances fertility by regulating hormones and reducing anoestrus periods, resulting in more successful breedings and healthier offspring.

1. Nutritional Deficiency Correction:

• Use: Treats symptoms like loss of appetite, muscle twitching, weakness, reduced milk, or convulsions in deficient animals.
• Benefits: Restores energy levels and immunity, preventing metabolic disorders like hypocalcemia (milk fever) and promoting faster recovery.

1. Digestion and Metabolic Support:

• Use: Improves rumen function and feed conversion in stressed or underfed livestock.
• Benefits: Boosts overall digestion, weight gain, and disease resistance, leading to healthier herds with lower veterinary costs.

1. Growth and Immunity in Young Animals:

• Use: For calves, foals, or piglets during rapid growth phases.
• Benefits: Accelerates development and strengthens immune responses, reducing mortality and supporting weaning transitions.

Dosage and Administration:

• High-Yielding Dairy Cattle/Buffaloes: 100 ml daily orally, or mix 1 L in 50 kg of feed. Often combined with 60 ml Vimeral (multivitamin) per liter for enhanced effects—shake well.
• Calves/Young Animals: 20-50 ml daily, based on weight.
• Other Livestock (e.g., Sheep, Goats, Horses): 10-50 ml daily or as per veterinarian.
• Administer directly into the mouth, mix in feed, or add to drinking water. Start 15-30 days before calving and continue through lactation. Duration: Ongoing for maintenance; adjust based on blood tests or vet advice. Always consult a veterinarian for precise dosing.

Side Effects:

Generally well-tolerated with no major side effects reported at recommended doses, as it's a natural supplement.

Rare/Mild:

• Mild digestive upset (e.g., loose stools) if overdosed.
• Allergic reactions in sensitive animals (e.g., itching or swelling—discontinue and consult vet).

Overdose may lead to hypercalcemia (excess calcium)—symptoms include lethargy or thirst. Monitor and seek veterinary help if adverse effects occur.

Precautions and Warnings:

• Contraindications: Avoid in animals with hypercalcemia, kidney stones, or vitamin D toxicity. Not for use in pregnant animals without vet approval if history of complications.
• Other Conditions: Use cautiously in animals with renal impairment (risk of mineral buildup). Test for deficiencies before long-term use.
• Drug Interactions: May interact with tetracycline antibiotics (reduced absorption)—space dosing by 2 hours. No known issues with standard feeds.
• Store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Shake well before use. For veterinary use only; keep out of reach of children and non-target animals.
