Agrimin 24-7 Copper Lamb Bolus is a long-acting copper supplement designed for ruminating lambs weighing over 20kg.

Product Features
Agrimin 24-7 Copper Lamb Bolus has been developed for use in ruminating lambs grazing pasture or forage-based diets where copper deficiency is likely.
The bolus gradually releases copper over a six-month period, reducing the need for repeated supplementation while helping animals maintain adequate copper status throughout the grazing season.
This sustained supplementation is particularly useful on farms where naturally low soil copper levels or elevated levels of copper antagonists such as molybdenum, iron and sulphur can limit copper absorption.

Why Supplement Copper?
Copper is an essential trace element that supports normal growth, healthy fleece development and overall wellbeing in lambs. Where forage copper levels are inadequate, or where antagonists such as molybdenum, iron or sulphur interfere with copper absorption, long-acting supplementation can help maintain appropriate copper status throughout the grazing season.
