The Maycillin bolus is a rapid acting udder health bolus proving as the ideal antibiotic alternative supporting cows’ natural immune system. The udder health Bolus has been engineered to release the active compound Allicin, which has been proven to have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The fast acting bolus, Maycillin, helps reduce the use of antibiotics in cases of high somatic cell counts and clinical mastitis in lactating dairy cows. Maycillin also comes with a zero milk withholding period, another favourable feature, saving up to €40 worth of milk that can go into the Bulk Tank.

Maycillin is also recommended for use in post calving transition support, particularly in cases of difficult calving and also in recurring cases of mastitis.  Two applications of the udder health Bolus is only advised in cases of Somatic Cell Count above 500,000 cells/ml, with application 30 days apart. Maycillin comes in a pack of 10, for application to 5 cows.

The Benefits of the Allicin (Active Ingredient)

Allicin is the active ingredient found in the Maycillin bolus and is a compound that is produced when garlic is crushed or chopped, and is found to reduce inflammation and offers antioxidant benefits. The amino acid Alliin is found in fresh garlic, and releases an enzyme Alliinase once the clove is crushed or chopped. Allicin helps the body to resist or destroy viruses and other microorganisms by boosting the immune system. Garlic has also been known as an antisepic, antibacterial, and antifungal agent.
