High Iodine All-Trace Trace Element Boluses for Cattle
Description
A sustained release bolus containing 6 trace elements and 3 vitamins. Designed for grazing or forage fed livestock where an imbalance of iodine affects animal productivity. High Iodine All-Trace helps farmers manage the trace element status of their herd over critical periods of the production cycle.
Low levels of iodine in pasture will generally result in low levels in cattle grazing or being fed forage from that pasture. The use of lime and manure spreading can greatly reduce the level of available iodine found in pasture.
Low iodine in the blood can result in poor growth rates and milk yield can also be less than expected.
Technology
High iodine All-Trace boluses are designed to lie in the reticulum and dissolve from a constant surface area thus providing a continuous and regular supply of nutrients to the animal. High Iodine All-Trace boluses have an active life of 180 days.

Strategies
Benefits
Strong, healthy calves
Easier, cleaner calvings
Reduced calving spread
Optimise conception rates
Optimise general condition

Full range of trace elements
Efficacy
High Iodine All-Trace has been tested in trials and the results have been published in peer reviewed scientific journals. Trial work has shown the following:
High Iodine boluses give a consistent supply of iodine over an extended period
Plasma inorganic iodine levels in cattle are significantly increased over the trial period
Administration
Administer two boluses per animal.
The active life of High Iodine All-Trace is 180 days.
Always use the recommended Agrimin bolus applicator. A twin bolus applicator is available which saves time and makes administration much easier.
High Iodine All-Trace are packed in units of 20 (enough for 10 cattle)
