Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is Durvet CMPK Gel Nutritional Supplement used for?

Ans: Durvet CMPK Gel Nutritional Supplement is used as an oral mineral gel for dairy cattle during the pre-calving period. The formula provides calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium to support mineral balance when nutrient demand increases before and after calving.

Q2: When should CMPK Gel be given to a cow?

Ans: Give one tube before or immediately after calving. A second tube is given 12-24 hours after calving. This timing supports mineral intake during the highest-demand window, when cows may benefit from targeted calcium and mineral supplementation.

Q3: How do I administer the CMPK Gel tube correctly?

Ans: Hold the cow’s head slightly elevated, insert the nozzle near the rear of the mouth, and discharge the entire tube orally. Administer slowly and allow swallowing to help reduce the chance of loss and support complete intake.

Q4: What makes the “true gel” formula helpful during dosing?

Ans: The true-gel consistency is designed to stay in the animal’s mouth instead of running out during administration. That helps the cow swallow more of the intended dose, supporting reliable delivery of calcium and other key minerals.

Q5: What minerals are included in the formula?

Ans: The gel is formulated to provide calcium along with phosphorus, magnesium, and potassium. These minerals are commonly supplemented around calving to support mineral balance, especially during periods when feed intake or absorption may be challenged.

Q6: Does the ingredient list include anything to support absorption?

Ans: Yes, the ingredient list includes citric acid, along with other components that help form the gel and deliver minerals. Citric acid is commonly included in mineral supplements to support the overall intake and utilization of minerals.

Q7: Are there precautions to follow when giving oral gel supplements?

Ans: Yes, ensure the cow has a swallowing reflex before administering the medication, and administer it slowly to allow for proper swallowing. The product is for animal use only. Avoid freezing the product to help maintain gel consistency and adequate administration.

Q8: How should Durvet CMPK Gel Nutritional Supplement be stored?

Ans: Store the gel properly and protect it from freezing. Keeping the product from freezing helps maintain the intended gel consistency, which facilitates smoother administration and more reliable swallowing when dosing cows around calving or immediately after calving.

Q9: Can the gel be used as a routine calving supplement?

Ans: The labeled directions describe dosing around calving, including a follow-up tube 12-24 hours later. For herd protocols, frequency decisions should align with labeled directions and the animal’s needs during calving management.
