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.
