Tracesure Sheep/Lamb 9g
Presentation
Cylindrical rosin based boluses. Each Tracesure Cattle/Calf 25g bolus contains 250mg selenium and 250mg cobalt. Each Tracesure Sheep/Lamb 9g bolus contains 55mg selenium and 55mg cobalt.Uses
Tracesure is a ruminal bolus for cattle and sheep, providing slow release supplementation of selenium and cobalt. Where dietary intake of selenium and cobalt is low, the health and productivity of the animal may be improved by supplementation of these elements. Selenium deficient stock may suffer from white muscle disease increased still births, weak lambs and depressed fertility. Cobalt deficient stock may have depressed appetites and/or show signs of general ill-thrift. Tracesure boluses release supplementary selenium and cobalt for up to 5 – 6 months. These trace elements are released from the bolus by leaching, providing dietary supplementation. Spent boluses become large and fragile. They are eventually shed, intact or fragmented, by being regurgitated or excreted.Dosage and Administration
Tracesure boluses are administered orally. Place the bolus at the back of the mouth, beyond the hump of the tongue, using a suitable dosing gun (e.g. the Tracesure Cattle or Tracesure Sheep dosing gun). To avoid injury, the dosing gun should be used carefully and without force. Normal swallowing movements should allow the dose to be passed easily into the back of the mouth, the bolus may then be ejected and passage of the gun beyond this point is not necessary. Always check that the animal swallows the bolus.Dosage:
