Key Features of Tracesure Cattle XL With Copper 10’s
If an animal is insufficient in any of the trace elements present in Tracesure Cattle Boluses with Copper it can lead to problems such as infertility and poor immune systems as well as other problems.
All these problems caused by the lack of either copper, cobalt, iodine or selenium are listed below. A single application of Tracesure Cattle XL With Copper will prevent deficiency of these elements.
Copper Deficiency: Low copper intake can lead to reduced fertility, reduced growth rate, reduced resistance to disease, reduced milk production, depressed bull libido, joint disorders, reduced semen quality, diarrhoea, bone deformities and spontaneous fractures.
Iodine Deficiency: While low iodine levels can be quite common, the effects that it can have vary greatly. The symptoms can include reduced fertility, poor weight gain, reduced milk yield and quality, late abortions, stillbirth, perinatal mortality, metabolic disorders, increased susceptibility to infectious diseases
Selenium Deficiency: Even though selenium is a common naturally occurring element it is frequently low in good quality pastures. Low intake of selenium can lead to white muscle disease, an increase in still births, depressed fertility and retained cleansing.
Cobalt Deficiency: Cobalt is essential for the natural production of vitamin B12 in the rumen. Low levels of cobalt will lead to depressed appetite and general poor health.

How do Tracesure Cattle XL With Copper work?
The boluses use a slow release system that work in four stages:
Stage 1: The bolus enters the first stomach and releases the rods stored within.
Stage 2: The rods are stored in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd stomachs.
Stage 3: Acid in the 4th stomach dissolves the rods
Stage 4: The dissolved rods are passed through to the intestine where they are absorbed into the animals system
