Cosecure Cattle Bolus

This Cosecure cattle bolus serves as a continuous release intraruminal device and comes in a box of 20 boluses (10 doses). Each bolus contains the following active substances:

- Copper: 13.4g.

- Cobalt: 0.5g.

- Selenium, as sodium selenate: 0.3g.

These Cosecure boluses are for the prevention and treatment of copper and selenium deficiencies and improvement of the cobalt supply. Designed for use on ruminating cattle over two months of age and weighing over 100kg in bodyweight. Dosage: 2 boluses.

Method of administration:

Administer orally using a balling applicator, which delivers the bolus directly into the top of the gullet. Great care should be taken not to cause any injury by rough handling or by placing the applicator too far inside the throat of the animal. Ensure that each animal has swallowed the boluses by holding the mouth closed and observing the animal for a short time after dosing. Gently massaging the throat may facilitate swallowing of the boluses. To minimise risk of regurgitation, avoid rough handling of animals.

Following administration, the boluses lodge in the reticulum where they dissolve over a period of approximately 4.5 to 6 months. The breakdown products are copper, cobalt and selenium in ionic form. The boluses provide these elements at levels compatible with the animals daily requirements.

The boluses should normally be administered just before turnout, but can be given at any time e.g. to dairy cows at drying off or at calving or 30 days post-calving or at artificial insemenation.

Boluses are sensetive to sudden temperature changes such as may occur when very cold boluses are swallowed by an animal. It is important that the bolus is at room temperature (15 - 20 degrees C) at administration to prevent the development of fine cracks that may change the activity of the bolus.

Withdrawel period:

- Meat and offal: Zero days.

- Milk: Zero hours.
