Description
A sustained release bolus containing iodine, cobalt and selenium. Intended for adult cattle on grass or forage-based diets with a liveweight over 400 kg.
24·7 Smartrace Adult Cattle is designed for situations where iodine, cobalt and selenium supplementation is essential in the run up to calving and service but where additional copper is not required.
24·7 Smartrace Adult Cattle supplies the animal’s full daily requirement of each essential trace element for 180 days.
Technology
24·7 Smartrace Adult Cattle boluses are designed to lie in the reticulum. The wrapper on the bolus dissolves and the bolus breaks into two parts.
These erode and dissolve completely thus providing a continuous and regular supply of nutrients to the animal.

Efficacy
24·7 Smartrace Adult Cattle has been the subject of a detailed R&D programme both in house and in New Zealand. A variant of this bolus technology has been successfully launched in NZ. Trials in cattle have confirmed an excellent sustained release profile, which ensures that iodine, cobalt and selenium levels are maintained throughout the active life of the bolus.
Administration
One 160 g bolus should be given to each animal.
Always use the approved Agrimin cattle bolus Applicator A.
24·7 Smartrace Adult Cattle boluses are packed in units of 10 (enough for 10 cattle).
