INDICATIONS
Boostin is an injectable long-acting bovine somatotropin used to increase milk production in well-nourished and properly managed dairy cows from the time of peak lactation to drying off.
Boostin increases the efficiency of milk production in lactating dairy cows by increasing the quantity of milk produced without altering the normal composition of milk. Bovine somatotropin is a natural protein produced by the pituitary gland and promotes the use of nutrient energy for milk production.

COMPOSITION
Each 2 mℓ cartridge contains 500 mg recombinant bovine somatotropin.
