Health, fertility and performance
Trace element and mineral deficiencies have huge effects on the health, fertility, performance and profitability of your livestock. These deficiencies are often sub clinical and happen gradually over time, having a major impact on the productivity of the animal. The most common side effects are poor growth rates, poor fertility, poor colostrum quality and weak lambs or calves. The animals diet often does not provide the required levels of trace elements and vitamins and so supplementation is necessary. Providing a consistent, reliable and adequate supply of trace elements will ensure your animals are in optimal health and therefore able to perform well.
Farm and Pet have a Bolutech bolus range as well as our own branded liquid drenches, probiotic paste for calves and lambs, prebiotic calf paste and lamb colostrum.

This promotes overall health and well being. Each bolus is subject to disintegration tests in the laboratory as well as the experimental site. This involves replicating the rumen in the lab. This is achieved by taking rumen fluid and placing a bolus within the fluid. The liquid is then aggitated to replicate the rumen function. These boluses are tailored to meet the specific needs of your animals, based on typical forage analysis results. k here to add your own text and edit me. It's easy.

Trace elements and vitamins
Cobalt
The trace element Cobalt is required in ruminants for the synthesis of vitamin B12. Cobalt is found in the pastures and soil where the animals graze. UK pastures can often be lacking in cobalt, resulting in the animal not consuming the required levels for Vitamin B12 production. B12 is essential for livestock for energy metabolism and the production of red blood cells. Adult ewes with cobalt deficiency can have fertility problems, poor mothering ability and potential low viability of pregnancy. Lambs after weaning are particularly susceptible to cobalt deficiency. The clinical signs can be poor appetite and growth rates, ill thrift, and in severe cases anaemia. Cattle will present with weight loss and poor growth rates.
Selenium & Vitamin E
Selenium and Vitamin E are antioxidants and selenium is an essential trace element for grazing livestock. They work together to prevent oxidation of tissues and the breakdown of cell membranes which causes cell damage. Selenium also helps maintain a healthy immune system. This is crucial, particularly during times of high energy demand such as drying off, lactation and calving. This trace element and vitamin are essential for normal growth, fertility and preventing white muscle disease, as well as maintaining a healthy udder and producing healthy offspring.
Copper
Copper is an essential trace element needed for growth, white blood cell function and melanin pigmentation. Different animals and breeds of animals absorb copper at different rates making some more susceptible to copper toxicity.
Zinc
Zinc is an essential trace element for livestock. It plays a pivotal role in immune function, reproduction and growth. A deficiency in this trace element can lead to poor reproductive rates, poor growth and an increase in contracting many diseases. Dietary supplementation with zinc can promote excellent overall health leading to improved productivity rates.
Iodine
Iodine is a component of thyroid hormone which plays a crucial role in many physiological functions in the body of livestock. For example, appetite control, muscle function and immunity as well as the development of calves and lambs.
Sign of iodine deficiency include still births and weak newborn lambs and calves. Newborns may also have a swelling of the thyroid in their neck. Less obvious signs can include poor fertility rates and poor scanning percentages.
