Cobalt deficiency in soil and/or pasture leads to a lack of Vitamin B12 in body tissues of stock which, subsequently, may have poor growth rates and ill thrift, particularly in young animals
Before treatment, establish selenium status of stock, pasture cobalt levels and/or Vitamin B12 status of stock
Do not use this product unless animals are deficient in both cobalt and selenium
Treatment is likely to last only 4-6 weeks if liver storage levels of Vitamin B12 and pasture levels of cobalt are low
Treatment of pregnant ruminants should benefit newborn animals, particularly when treated in latter stages of pregnancy
Supplementation of young ruminants should begin at or before weaning
Do not redose with this product within three months of the previous dose. Within this period re-treat with a non-selenised Vitamin B12 supplement
