Tracesure

Tracesure Cu/I Calf intra-ruminal leaching boluses use a unique and proven leaching technology, to provide slow release supplementation of the 4 essential trace elements at known and optimum levels for approximately 6 months with a single application. Tracesure Cu/I Calf boluses are easily given to ruminant animals using a specially designed Animax applicator. The boluses enter the animal’s rumen/reticulum and lodge there and the trace elements leach out from the boluses at a known and safe rate. Spent boluses eventually become enlarged and are shed naturally.

Copper Range

Copper oxide rods are released in the reticulo-rumen passing slowing through the ruminant stomachs for a period of 2 to 3 months. Exposure to abomasal acidity causes slow particle solution, enabling partial absorption to take place. The copper stored in the liver then acts as a depot from which copper is slowly released to maintain normal concentrations in the blood during periods when the animal may be receiving an inadequate copper intake. The recommended dosage should maintain adequate copper levels for the whole grazing season unless more frequent dosing is required on veterinary advice.
