Capsules are inserted orally using a specially designed Animax applicator.
The copper oxide rods are released and lodge in the folds of the stomach lining.
*Product is available either as a capsule or bolus in different countries.
The needles pass slowly through the ruminant stomachs for a period of 2 to 3 months and the liver reserves are topped up.
Stores of copper build up in the liver, as the copper is absorbed in the abomasum (fourth stomach) at a steady rate.
The copper reserves that have built up in the liver are released gradually for approximately 6 months.
