Application in the form of bolus is allowed. A bolus may contain up to 20 % iron in an inert, non-bioavailable form, in order to increase its density. 2. Indicate on the labelling: ‘During the supply of calcium or sodium propionates at the end of gestation, an evaluation of the mineral equilibrium in association with the risk of hypocalcaemie after parturition is necessary.’\n\n**Source**: Commission Regulation (EU) 2020/354, Annex, Part B, entry 61 — EUR-Lex consolidated version 2025-04-22 (CELEX:02020R0354).\n","sources":[],"tokens_estimated":402,"generated_at":null,"tip":"Use /api/v1/topics to discover more topics. /api/v1/nutrient for precise single-point queries. /api/v1/cross_compare for 2-3 standard comparisons."}
