Product Description
A sustained release bolus containing iodine, selenium and cobalt. Intended for breeding cows on grass or forage based diets. Agrimin 24/7 Smartrace is designed for situations where iodine supplementation is essential in the run up to calving and service but where additional copper is not required.
Agrimin 24/7 Smartrace supplies the animal’s full daily requirement of each essential trace element for 180 days.
Technology:
Agrimin 24/7 Smartrace boluses are for use in breeding cattle over 400kg body weight.
Agrimin 24/7 Smartrace boluses are designed to lie in the reticulum. The wrapper on the bolus dissolves and the bolus breaks into two parts. These erode and dissolve thus providing a continuous and regular supply of nutrients to the animal.
Benefits:
- Eroding technology means consistent supply of trace elements
- Delivers largest available daily supply of iodine
- Delivers full daily requirement of selenium and cobalt
- Free of copper – important for closely managed dairy cows
- Strong healthy calves
- Easier, cleaner calvings
- Optimise conception rates
- Reduced calving spread
Efficacy
Agrimin 24/7 has been the subject of a detailed R&D programme both at Glasgow Veterinary School and in New Zealand. A variant of this bolus technology has been successfully launched in NZ. Trials in cattle have confirmed an excellent sustained release profile, which ensures that iodine, selenium and cobalt levels are maintained throughout the active life of the bolus.
Administration
One 160g bolus should be given to each animal.
Use only approved Agrimin bolus guns.
