When to use Lactovite New England:

1. Iodine is ordered in double strength by those who have observed a reduction in the incidence of foot abscess with the use of iodine.

LACTOVITE NEW ENGLAND has a base of salt, bentonite, calcium, phosphorous and sulphur providing minerals required for bone development, milk production and wool growth. Zinc, cobalt and iodine are all in LACTOVITE NEW ENGLAND blocks to provide rumen microbes, and the animal, with essential minerals.

Research at the University of New England showed that the addition of a very small amount of bentonite to the diet of sheep and cattle was highly beneficial, improving their productivity year round.

Because of the large surface area of bentonite and its many active sites on which to bind particularly large molecules, it has the ability to absorb toxins and also to absorb excess moisture in the rumen

. The bentonite in LACTOVITE NEW ENGLAND also protects the natural protein included in the block and enhances microbial protein production in the animal's digestive system as well as ensuring a higher proportion of the pasture's protein is made available to the animal.
