Since implementing the CoseIcure boluses into our protocol, we have experienced significant improvements in fertility, neonatal calf losses and retained placentas.’

2 Moeini, M.M., Telfer, S.B. and Sanjabi, M.R. (2003) ‘THE EFFECT OF COSECURE® SUPPLEMENTATION ON THE COPPER STATUS AND FERTILITY OF GRAZING HOLSTEIN - FRIESIAN DAIRY CATTLE’ Abstracts – Poster presentations at 11th ICPD, Acta vet. scand. Suppl. 98. *Cows grazed on pasture significantly high in molybdenum and treated with Cosecure boluses showed a significant improvement (p<0.05) in number of services to conception (1.7 ± 0.2 vs. 2.5 ± 0.3) and significantly shorter calving intervals (371 ± 10 Vs. 407 ±15) compared to control (untreated) cows. Poor fertility is a complex issue with many causes. Where deficiencies in copper, cobalt or selenium exist; or where thiomolybdate toxicity occurs, these can affect fertility. Date advert designed: August 2021. MCR1120.
3 CoseIcure Cattle is a complementary dietetic feedstuff which contains copper, cobalt, selenium and iodine. Nutritional supplementation should only be given on the advice of a veterinary surgeon, nutritionist or animal health adviser; where appropriate diagnostics have taken place and a need for supplementation has been identified. Oversupplying trace elements can result in toxicity.

"Dietary deficiencies in single or multiple trace elements can have profound effects on the reproductive performance of dairy cattle. Infertility, decreased conception rate, anoestrus and delayed onset of puberty in cattle has previously been reported to be associated with clinical copper deficiency and high dietary molybdenum intakes"1.
When dairy farmer James Garry experienced issues with herd fertility and health, poor milking and a traumatic calving season, he made it is his mission to find and resolve the underlying cause. What ensued was a deep dive into the area of trace element nutrition, the role of molybdenum on his herd's performance, and the discovery of unique trace element bolus which he credits with saving his business.
John and Sarah Yeomans run a fragmented, 285 acre, heavily stocked upland unit, north of Newtown in Mid Wales, in several blocks spread over approximately five miles, running up to over 1400 feet. The Yeomans are award-winning farmers, being named Farmers Weekly Sheep Farmers of the Year in 2018.

There are no significant stores of body zinc, so the animal must rely on a daily supply to meet requirements.
Where dietary zinc is insufficient and a deficiency exists, a continuous source of zinc must be supplied, such as by a continuous-release bolus.
Our ZINCOISEL soluble glass boluses supply rumen-available ionic zinc, ionic cobalt, selenium and iodine at a controlled and constant rate, for up to 4 months in sheep.
Uses: For use in areas of zinc, iodine and selenium deficiencies and for the improvement of cobalt supply. The ZincoIsel sheep bolus supplements the diet of the sheep with the nutritionally essential minerals zinc, cobalt, iodine and selenium for up to four months.
Zinc
Zinc plays a role in immune function, fertility (sexual maturity, the onset of oestrus, reproductive capacity, hoof health, udder health, skin health, wound healing and cell development.
Selenium
Selenium deficiency can result in White Muscle Disease, impaired reproduction, retained placenta, reduced immunity and reduced milk production.
Cobalt
Cobalt is required for the production of vitamin B12, which is important for thrive and fertility. The body has no capacity to store cobalt, meaning cobalt must be continuously supplied.
Iodine
Animals deficient in iodine can suffer from a range of problems, including poor growth, weight loss, impaired reproductive health, reduced bone growth, decreased milk yields, calves born hairless and lambs born weak or dead.
*ZINCOISEL boluses are not a registered medicine, such as require authorisation by the HPRA.
