TRACE ELEMENT + COPPER & COBALT + SELENIUM

A lick block for all livestock

Application:

a lick block for all livestock

Net Weight:

20kg

Feeding Instructions:

Remove outer carton and plastic cover and place near water troughs, dams and stock camps. Place out sufficient blocks to avoid overcrowding of stock. Initially, the consumption rate will be higher than average, but higher rates of consumption will drop after an initial "gorging" period. Replace immediately when consumed.

Consumption Guide:

The following rates will increase or decrease according to varying pasture conditions.

Cattle 30g/head/day

Sheep 10g/head/day

When to Use Trace Element + Copper & Cobalt + Selenium:

1. When there is evidence of a copper & cobalt deficiency.

2. When there is evidence of selenium deficiency.

The bacteria in the rumen require an array of minerals and trace elements to process feed.

The minerals and trace elements in an animal's diet can be compared to the staves of a barrel: if any one of those staves is broken or missing, the level of nutritional health is decreased to the level of its greatest deficiency.

The seven trace elements required for effective rumen function are: copper, cobalt, iron, zinc, manganese, iodine and selenium. There is a concentration of these elements at which rumen microbes function optimally, so each of these elements must be correctly balanced. The effect of balancing these essential elements is the efficient breakdown of feed consumed by the animal.

Olsson's Trace Element blocks alone or in combination with other supplements give the animal the best chance to correct minor deficiencies.
