The best calcium supplement for cows and buffaloes in India is a liquid or gel that supplies well-absorbed calcium together with phosphorus and vitamin D3, given at the right time: in early lactation and around calving, not in large amounts during the late dry period. Feeding a lot of calcium in the last weeks before calving can actually raise milk-fever risk. Cattle Remedies Chelated CALCICRIL™ provides calcium (3600 mg) and phosphorus (1800 mg) as declared on the label with vitamin D3, B12, chelated zinc, copper and manganese, and galactagogue herbs. A cow that is already down with milk fever needs a vet and intravenous calcium, not an oral tonic.
A cow or buffalo starts producing colostrum and milk at calving and suddenly needs far more calcium than her body can mobilise. If blood calcium falls too low, she develops milk fever. Milder, hidden (subclinical) low calcium is common in high yielders and is linked to retained placenta, uterine prolapse, slow uterine recovery, ketosis, mastitis and a weak start to lactation. Calcium and phosphorus also matter all through lactation for milk yield, bones and growth in young stock.
Pair calcium with a daily mineral mixture such as Cattle Remedies VERYMIN™, and see the best mineral mixture for cattle in India guide. For uterine support around calving, see Cattle Remedies UTEROTONE 3 IN 1™.
A product that supplies well-absorbed calcium with phosphorus and vitamin D3, used at the right time: daily in lactation, and as a short course at calving for high-risk cows. Cattle Remedies Chelated CALCICRIL combines calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3, chelated trace minerals and galactagogue herbs.
Buffaloes need the same nutrients as cows: calcium with phosphorus and vitamin D3, plus a daily mineral mixture. High-yielding buffaloes and older buffaloes are at risk of low calcium around calving. CALCICRIL's dose for buffaloes is 50 ml twice daily, or as advised by your veterinarian.
Avoid heavy calcium feeding in the last 2–3 weeks before calving, because it can make it harder for the cow to mobilise her own calcium at calving. Focus calcium support on the calving day and the days after, as advised by your vet.
Oral calcium helps prevent milk fever and supports recovery. A cow that is down, cold or unable to stand needs a veterinarian and intravenous calcium straight away. Never pour liquids into the mouth of a cow that cannot swallow properly.
For milk-fever prevention, a short course around calving. For milk yield, daily through early and peak lactation. Follow the label and your vet's advice.

Milk-fever products are best compared by grams of calcium in each dose. UTEROTONE 3 IN 1™ states 13,500 mg calcium and 6,750 mg phosphorus per 100 ml, so one 300 ml dose supplies about 40.5 g calcium and 20 g phosphorus, along with magnesium, energy precursors and uterine-support herbs. Its label course is 300 ml just before calving, 300 ml 12 hours later, then 300 ml a day for 2–4 days. For any calcium product, check the pack for the amount per dose before you compare prices. Remember: a cow that is down and cannot swallow must never be drenched. Intravenous calcium is a job for the vet. See also our uterine tonic buying guide.
Chelated CALCICRIL is a liquid calcium and mineral supplement containing chelated calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D3 and B12, glycine-chelated trace minerals (zinc, copper, manganese), biotin and galactagogue herbs (shatavari, jivanti, fenugreek, ginger).

Cows, buffaloes and horses are commonly given 50 ml twice daily; calves, sheep and goats 20 ml twice daily; poultry 10–20 ml per 100 birds in drinking water. Follow the pack or veterinary advice. Available in 5 L and 10 L packs.

A chelated liquid calcium with phosphorus, vitamin D3 and galactagogue herbs — such as Chelated CALCICRIL — is ideal, as it is well absorbed and supports both milk yield and milk-fever prevention.
Chelated minerals are bound to amino acids, so they are absorbed far more efficiently than ordinary mineral salts — meaning more usable calcium per dose.
Regular calcium support around calving helps maintain blood calcium and reduces the risk of milk fever; follow veterinary guidance for high-risk animals.
Yes, at 10–20 ml per 100 birds in drinking water.
