RAISE YOUR HERD TO THE TOP OF THE TRANSITION CURVE

Reduce the risk of Hypocalcemia and Ketosis with Sugar-Mate
Sugar-Mate boluses help reduce the risk of ketosis and milk fever by releasing a rapidly assimilable dose of energy and calcium¹⁻²⁻³⁻⁴. They provide a rapid and sustained increase in blood calcium levels¹⁻² and support the metabolism of cows in early lactation¹⁻²⁻³.
QUICK RELEASE ENERGY
Calcium propionate is a glucose precursor to help prevent Ketosis. It is rapidly absorbed in the rumen and then converted to glucose by the liver.⁵
SUSTAINED RELEASE CALCIUM
Calcium propionate is rapidly absorbed in the rumen and provides a rapid and sustained increase in blood calcium¹.
OPTIMAL USE
No withdrawal period⁶ or palatability issues which are common with most calcium paste supplements.
MAINTAIN ITS FRESHNESS
Each dose of 3 boluses is individually wrapped in an airtight container to maintain freshness and facilitate transport.
FACILITATES THE TRANSITION
Helps prepare the cow to enter the milking herd on time and ready for production¹⁻²⁻³⁻⁴⁻⁵.
EASY TO ADMINISTER
Drench-Mate's "3 bolus" gun delivers a full dose of 3 boluses in a single action.
Ready to raise your herd to the top of the transition curve
It is easier and more cost-effective to prevent milk fever (hypocalcemia) and reduce the risk of ketosis than to try to treat it.
With Sugar-Mate, your cows receive a quick-release dose of energy, calcium supplementation and metabolic liver support (Niacin) when they need it most.
“I have to say that we have really been loving the new blue sugar pills! I gave them to an older fatter cow and WOW she turned around overnight! We love this product!”

Proven Ingredients
- Calcium propionate has two functions: It is a source of energy rapidly assimilable (glucose precursor) like the propylene glycol and it is a source of calcium that allows to maintain the blood calcium level¹⁻².
- Sugar (Dextrose) is easily and quickly fermented in the rumen and has a positive effect on energy metabolism which helps reduce the risk of ketosis (acetonemia) and it also stimulate appetite without acidifying the rumen⁴.
- Niacin provides metabolic support. Niacin allows a faster detoxification of ammonia by the animal's liver. In addition, it stimulates blood sugar formation in the liver and faster utilization of ketone bodies to prevent ketosis³.
