Hypercalcemia in Animals
- Occurs frequently within 72 hours post-calving
- Causes include low calcium in early milk (colostrum) compared to normal milk, resulting in a 12% higher or better quality calcium depletion in the body.
- Insufficient calcium given to animals can lead to Hypocalcemia or milk fever.
- Factors like reduced calcium absorption in the small intestine, deficiency of Vitamin D in the body, improper calcium to phosphorus ratio (2:1), and Lack of parathyroid hormone contribute to Hypocalcemia or milk fever.
- I Cap Gel is a comprehensive solution for calcium supplementation in animals, addressing various challenges associated with Hypocalcemia or milk fever effectively.
Radostitis Research (2015)
- Gel-based calcium supplementation helps maintain blood calcium levels during calving.
- Gel forms a reservoir of calcium in the body, aiding in maintaining blood calcium levels
Product Composition:
- Contains 43.5 gm of Ionic Calcium.
- Includes phosphorus, three B-complex vitamins, Vitamin D3, and Magnesium, which is crucial.
- Magnesium plays a vital role in the mobilization of calcium and phosphorus.
- Other calcium gels in the market lack magnesium, making I Cap Gel more effective.
Presentation and Dosage:
- Each bottle of I Cap Gel contains approximately 300 GM
- Adjustments made in the components result in a more effective dosage of around 240 gm, with glycerin as the base.
- Glycerin base aids in easy intake of calcium, preventing choking during administration.
Advantages of Glycerin Base:
- Ensures easy intake of calcium, preventing choking, which is common with other products.
- Glycerin acts as a glucogenic precursor, preventing conditions like ketosis, especially beneficial in dairy animals.
Role of Ionic Calcium and Other Components:
- Ionic Calcium acts quickly after intake due to its iron base or free calcium content.
- Glycerin aids in immediate calcium mobilization and provides energy.
- B-Complex vitamins and magnesium play significant roles, enhancing the effectiveness of I Cap Gel.
Recommendations and Benefits:
- Recommended dosage before and after calving ensures sustained energy levels and prevents downer conditions in animals.
- I Cap Gel aids in muscle contraction and expansion, preventing fatigue.
- Its glycerin content provides quick energy, making it suitable for racing bulls.
Dose
- Before Calving – 1 bottle
- After Calving – 1 bottle
