Increased levels of selenium, cobalt, iodine and copper are needed to help cows improve metabolism at, and around calving, and also to help them cleanse once calved

Between one and three month post calving, the cow generates a peak of milk and cannot physically eat enough dry matter to maintain her body weight, and so “milks off her back”. This at a time when you want her to stand the bull.

How can you ensure enough supplementation of selenium, cobalt, iodine and copper during this period?

Bolus your cows with  tracesure Cu/I at drying off. Cows over 550kg will need a double application to ensure enough supplementation. The boluses last up to six months, and hence cover the period leading up to calving, and the period of conception.
