Young calves have high nutritional needs for growth and immune system development. Trace elements are crucial, and deficiencies can cause poor growth, weak immunity, or disease.
Proper trace element levels help calves develop stronger bones, better digestion, and improved resistance to disease, which ultimately boosts long-term herd performance.
Beef and dairy calves weighing 100kg - 200kg

Not all trace element deficiencies are obvious, but all deficiencies can have a major impact on animal health, livestock performance and farm profitability.
Cobalt is converted by rumen bacteria into vitamin B12, essential for energy metabolism, and therefore optimum growth. A constant supply of cobalt is needed.
lodine is an essential component of the thyroid hormones, responsible for regulating metabolism and body processes.
Selenium is essential for normal cell function and maintaining immunity levels. Selenium helps to neutralise harmful free radicals and protect cells from oxidative stress. Selenium is also important in supporting good fertility.
Copper (optional) is required for critical enzymes involved in energy metabolism, hormone production and red blood cell metabolism. A deficiency can be due to low dietary levels, or presence of antagonists in soil, water, or feed.
Also contains levels of magnesium and zinc to support immunity, reproductive health, growth, and metabolism.
