BioFerScience won its second straight Livestock Innovation award at Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show 2025, this time for its ProFlora Post-Calving Calcium Bolus.
The product is the first and only calcium bolus designed and manufactured in Ontario specifically to support calcium levels in fresh cows after calving.
BioFerScience is an animal health company based in London, Ont. that is active in developing innovative products to support transition cows and young calves, says company founder, president and chief technology officer Benham Abbasian.

Lactanet’s new fee-for-service breeding tool initiative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Canadian and Swiss Holstein herds will launch in April 2026.
Most calcium boluses on the market are manufactured in Europe and the United States, so the ProFlora Post-Calving Calcium Bolus gives producers a locally-sourced option.
Abbasian says the boluses are manufactured on-site in London and contain three types of calcium: calcium proprionate, calcium chloride and calcium sulfate, offering quick and sustained calcium release for transition cows. Each bolus also contains Vitamin D, Magnesium Oxide and a probiotic.
Abbasian says the boluses are manufactured using a unique cold-press process, which ensures fast dissolution.
The product is available from some veterinarians in Ontario and Quebec, and EastGen is the distributor for Ontario and the Maritimes.
