Supplementing minerals at grass can be tricky; for example, buckets and licks are out of the question because they are very attractive to badgers!
There are a variety of trace element and vitamin supplements on the market but only a quality bolus can ensure a steady daily intake of the minerals required. Thanks to its 40 years of expertise, the Oligovet range of boluses from Vetalis provides a continuous and controlled release of trace elements and vitamins.
Grazing Period
Oligovet Super Grazing bolus provides the main trace elements (Copper, Zinc, Iodine, Cobalt and Selenium) required throughout the grazing period. These boluses are unique in that they offer 8 months (250 days) of controlled trace elements supply from a single bolus administration (animals > 400 kg) to give you peace of mind for the rest of the season!
A Super Grazing bolus for heifers (200kg to 400kg) with a 180-day length of action is also available.
Pre-Calving Period

which should be administered two months before calving. Using this bolus will help you:
