Boost trace mineral supply

During the life and production cycle, farm animals go through successive natural, artificial and exceptional circumstances that require fast adaptation to new living and environmental conditions.

Animals can cope with these events more or less easily. During these periods, cattle draw on their reserves of nutrients to provide energy this can affect the immune status of the animal, its reproductive as well as productive capability.

Injectable trace minerals (ITM, also referred to as injectable trace elements) supplements provide rapid, targeted, and sustained increases of mineral levels in animals, so they are at optimal levels for use before a high-demand period.

Support them during high demand periods

Every cow, calf and bull are subject to oxidative stress throughout its life, because many situations are causing metabolic stress. Animals facing these critical or high demand periods can be supplemented with injectable trace minerals to prepare them for this transition.

Reproduction

Reproduction is the most important event in the production year, effective trace minerals management supports the cow and the foetus.

Immunity

Stress as well as behavioural factors can lead to trace minerals deficiencies and influence the immunity of animals.

Calf & weaning

Birth and the start of life is a stressful time for calves, who will encounter factors that may affect their trace minerals levels and ultimately their health.

Transition cows

During the transition period, trace mineral deficiency can occur, impacting health and performance of cows for the future.

Growth

After weaning, calves enter new environments. During this period, topping up trace minerals can contribute to supporting them through stress and maintain growth.

Dairy cows

Trace minerals have an influence on the immunity of dairy cows. In addition they can also improve udder health and milk quality.

What is Oxidative stress?

Oxidative stress is an imbalance of harmful free radicals and neutralising antioxidants in the body.  In periods of stress, more free radicals can be produced by the body and an imbalance occurs which can lead to cell and tissue damage.  These imbalances make animals more susceptible to numerous adverse health conditions and diseases.
