24·7 SMARTRACE® PLUS CALF

Efficacy

24·7 SMARTRACE® PLUS CALF 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 copper, iodine, cobalt and selenium levels are maintained throughout the active life of the bolus.
