Product overview
A sustained-release bolus delivering copper to growing cattle and breeding cows on grass- or forage-based diets. Contains 25 g copper oxide (equivalent to 21 g copper) for the UK market and 27 g copper oxide (equivalent to 23 g copper) for the Republic of Ireland. Designed for use where soil or forage copper is low or where copper antagonists (molybdenum, iron, sulphur) are elevated. Supplies the animal’s daily copper requirement over a 180-day active life.

Benefits

• Optimises growth rates in youngstock and finishing animals
• Supports general condition and herd health
• Maintains coat condition
• Maintains normal copper levels throughout the bolus active life
• Easy to administer on-farm
• No capsule design reduces risk of breakage or damage prior to or during administration
• Active life: 180 days
• Meat and milk withholding period: NIL

Efficacy
Multiple trials demonstrate that copper oxide boluses provide a consistent, bioavailable source of copper. Field studies show responses in live weight gain and improved copper status where dietary copper is limiting.

Administration

• Ruminating cattle under 250 kg liveweight — One bolus
• Cattle over 250 kg liveweight — Two boluses
• Cattle over 500 kg liveweight — Three boluses

Always use the recommended Agrimin cattle applicator B. 24·7 COPPER CATTLE boluses are packed in units of 24.
