High Iodine All-Trace Trace Element Boluses for Cattle

Description A sustained release bolus containing 6 trace elements and 3 vitamins. Designed for grazing or forage fed livestock where an imbalance of iodine affects animal productivity. High Iodine All-Trace helps farmers manage the trace element status of their herd over critical periods of the production cycle. Low levels of iodine in pasture will generally result in low levels in cattle grazing or being fed forage from that pasture. The use of lime and manure spreading can greatly reduce the level of available iodine found in pasture. Low iodine in the blood can result in poor growth rates and milk yield can also be less than expected.

Technology

High iodine All-Trace boluses are designed to lie in the reticulum and dissolve from a constant surface area thus providing a continuous and regular supply of nutrients to the animal. High Iodine All-Trace boluses have an active life of 180 days.

Composition

When to use* High Iodine All-Trace*

Intensive dairy on low iodine pasture Suckler beef or Cow/Calf beef on low iodine pastures or goitrogenic feeds Dairy cows at drying off 8-10 weeks pre-calving in beef suckler cows Growing youngstock Donor and recipient ET cattle Summer grazing Wintered on hay and forage and brassicas such as kale and cabbage

Benefits

• Strong, healthy calves
• Easier, cleaner calvings
• Reduced calving spread
• Optimise conception rates
• Optimise general condition
• Twin bolus gun means simple application
• Full range of trace elements

Efficacy

High Iodine All-Trace has been tested in trials and the results have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Trial work has shown the following:

• High Iodine boluses give a consistent supply of iodine over an extended period
• Plasma inorganic iodine levels in cattle are significantly increased over the trial period

Administration

Administer two boluses per animal.

The active life of High Iodine All-Trace is 180 days.

Always use the recommended Agrimin bolus applicator. A twin bolus applicator is available which saves time and makes administration much easier.
