Tracerite Copper Capsules for calves and adult cattle (20g) for prevention and treatment of copper deficiency in calves and adult cattle

Composition

Each capsule contains 16.8g of Copper (as copper oxide).

Physical Information

A soluble gelatine capsule (USP) containing 20g of sustained release copper oxide rods (copper needles) which contains 86% +/- 5% elemental copper for oral administration.

Indications

Tracerite Copper Capsules for Calves and Adult Cattle (20g) are indicated for the treatment and prevention of copper deficiency in cattle over 200kg. The Tracerite capsule is administered orally and dissolves in the rumen, releasing the copper oxide needles that lodge in the folds of the reticulum and abomasum. The copper oxide needles then slowly dissolve to release copper that is absorbed by the animal from the intestinal tract. The copper is stored in the liver and released gradually over time into the circulation.
