As far as I'm aware you need colostrum to get it started, and never use more than half of the tank in one day, and keep it topped up every dayI dunno, ask it?

Don't think you do. Pot of natural yoghurt in and ibc, then fill. For 2nd ibc scoop out some of the 1st one to start the process again.

What's everyone paying for glycol? Very aware of a few fatties this year and seen as we've got vet students here I'm thinking of reviva for say 3rd calvers onwards or anything that has a rough time and then extra glycol? Or should the reviva be enough unless they have signs of ketosis

Much better off using a ketone bolus good prevention and removes the risk of human error.

Do you not give reviva to everything ? its a bit like when your on the sofa feeling like shite, you cant be arsed to make yourself a drink but youll happily drink it if someone makes it and delivers it to you. we pay pay just over 500 a ton for GLW feeds lift off which is a liquid energy, feed at 750cc/day for 1st 100 days through the robots, we have used kexxtones in the past but got so peed off with them blocking the tanker up after the empties were regurgitated and ended up in the tower

The bolus and propelyene glycol have a different active ingenedient and a used totally different for ketosis. It's not really a one or the other scenario.
A bolus won't guarantee that cows don't get ketosis.

My Kefir (basically yoghurt) went ballistic last night, and I ended up with 20l of thick yoghurt. I've split it into 40l and will be prepping two blue barrels, one for AM and one for PM feeding.
Of course this requires the parlour to be finished...

We started using reviva last year on the odd cow but would like to use it more this year I think it has made a difference.
Soon be time to dry them off at this rate...
