Product Information

Full details

The Bimeda Coseicure Sheep Bolus is designed for livestock owners and farmers managing sheep over 25kg that graze in regions with specific mineral deficiencies. These boluses provide a controlled, sustained release of essential nutrients including copper, iodine, and selenium, while simultaneously improving cobalt levels to support overall animal vitality and health. While these boluses are highly effective for maintaining mineral balance, they are specifically formulated for sheep over 25kg, making them unsuitable for smaller lambs or other livestock species without veterinary consultation.

FAQs

Are these boluses safe for all sheep breeds?

While generally safe, some breeds are highly sensitive to copper. Consult your veterinarian regarding copper sensitivity before using.

Can I give this to a lamb weighing 20kg?

No, these boluses are specifically designed for sheep weighing over 25kg.

How often do I need to administer these?

The duration of efficacy depends on the individual animal's metabolism and local environmental factors. Follow label instructions or veterinary advice regarding re-administration.

What is the primary function of the cobalt in this bolus?

Cobalt is essential for the production of Vitamin B12, which is critical for energy metabolism in sheep.

Should I feed mineral licks alongside this product?

Consult your veterinarian. Over-supplementation can be harmful, especially concerning copper and selenium.

Troubleshooting

Difficulty in swallowing during administration

Ensure the animal's head is not held too high and the balling gun is inserted correctly to the base of the tongue.

Animal does not show improvement in health

Verify the mineral deficiency with blood or tissue testing; there may be other underlying health issues or secondary dietary blockers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Administering the Coseicure bolus requires the use of a suitable balling gun designed for sheep. Ensure the animal is securely restrained to prevent injury during the procedure.

  1. Compatibility Check: Confirm the weight of each sheep is over 25kg before administration.
  2. Veterinary Guidance: Before use, consult your local veterinarian or an animal nutritionist to confirm that your pasture/region has a genuine deficiency in the specific minerals provided.
  3. Storage: Store the boluses in a cool, dry place and keep the container tightly sealed to maintain the integrity of the active ingredients.
  4. Handling: Handle with care and ensure the bolus is placed correctly in the back of the mouth so it can be safely swallowed into the rumen.
