Abstract
Disclosed are bolus compositions for ruminants comprising potassium phosphate dibasic and water configured to rapidly dissolve in the rumen for use in the prevention or treatment of hypokalemia and hypophosphatemia. These conditions occur in ruminants at around the time of calving or during periods when ruminants do not eat (anorexia). The bolus compositions may comprise a coating that is compatible with a ruminant digestive tract. Additionally, the bolus compositions may comprise a wick which may be used during the manufacturing process to facilitate the bulk handling and transfer of the bolus compositions.
