Animal feed supplement AMBomba Terneros 0,75 % Micox Cocci

beef cattlecalfvitamin

DESCRIPTION
Some feedlots face both problems at once: raw materials at risk of mycotoxins and a coccidia challenge that recurs with every intake of calves. For those farms, AMBiotec brings the two reinforcement lines of the AMBomba range together in a single mineral supplement.
AMBomba Terneros 0,75 % Micox Cocci is AMBiotec Nutrition's mineral complementary feed for beef calves, from weaning to slaughter, on farms with a high mycotoxin and coccidia challenge. It provides vitamins A, D3, E, B1 and B6, betaine and the trace elements zinc, manganese, copper, iodine, cobalt and selenium; yeast cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae (mannan-oligosaccharides and β-glucans); bentonite and sepiolite; and the most concentrated mixture of flavouring substances in the range, the phytobiotic core which, according to the catalogue, is aimed at the parasite challenge. According to the catalogue, it includes additives for the control of the main mycotoxins.
It is added to the feed at 7.5 kg per tonne throughout the fattening period.
WHAT IT BRINGS TO THE FARM

• Double challenge in a single product: support against mycotoxins and a reinforced phytobiotic core for farms with a coccidia challenge, without adding products to the formula.
• Mycotoxins: according to the catalogue, it contributes to the control of the main mycotoxins in raw materials, with bentonite, sepiolite and yeast cell walls.
• Parasite challenge: nutritional support in feedlots with a coccidia challenge. It fits into the farm's control programme without replacing it.
• Microbiota and performance: mannan-oligosaccharides and β-glucans support the balance of the microbiota; better use of the ration and more uniform growth.
• Complete mineral supplement: vitamins, trace elements, betaine and macrominerals for the whole fattening period, at a single dose of 7.5 kg/t.

TARGET SPECIES AND PRODUCTION STAGES

• Beef calves: from weaning to slaughter, in the growing and fattening phases.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Administration: orally, via the feed. For use exclusively in the manufacture of animal feed.
• Dose: 7.5 kg per tonne of feed.

Field example: a 10-tonne batch of fattening feed takes 75 kg of AMBomba Terneros 0,75 % Micox Cocci, two and a half 30 kg bags. A 1,200 kg big bag covers 160 tonnes of feed.
Practical points: pre-blend with part of the feed before it goes into the mixer; use it instead of another mineral supplement in the range, not together with it; do not give oral macrolides at the same time; and handle it with a dust mask, gloves and safety goggles.
COMPOSITION AND ANALYTICAL CONSTITUENTS

• How the formula works: the range's vitamin-mineral base, with the clay and yeast cell wall block of the 0,7 % MICOX and the most concentrated flavouring mixture in the entire range.

SAFETY AND COMPATIBILITY

• No coccidiostats: contains no coccidiostats or antiparasitic additives.
• No withdrawal period: no withdrawal period is required for meat.
• Macrolides: simultaneous oral use with macrolides should be avoided.
• Vitamin D: simultaneous administration of vitamin D2 is prohibited.
• Copper and pasture: the copper level may cause copper deficiency in cattle grazing pastures with a high molybdenum or sulphur content (label).
• Handling: protection against exposure to cobalt by inhalation or skin contact; dust mask, gloves and safety goggles.
• Veterinary judgement: it is a complementary feed and does not replace the diagnosis, treatments or judgement of the veterinarian responsible for the farm.
