We're proud to provide the certified BioGro Organic farmer with a highly effective BioGro-registered selenium product, designed for easy oral application via inline water medication, or manual drench gun.
Selenium is an essential trace element that acts at the cellular level in certain enzyme systems. Working with Vitamin E, it assists to regulate metabolic oxidation processes in the body. Selenium status of the foetus can be improved by supplementing the mother as the element can be passed to the foetus.
Research shows that when selenium is added as a supplement, it reduces the prevalence of retained foetal membranes and it helps to reduce the severity of clinical mastitis.
A selenium deficiency can result in an ineffective reproduction system, low immune system, low milk production, white muscle disease, and general ill-thrift.
Dose Daily (either orally or through a Dosatron Inline Dispenser) 1.5 – 2mL per cow.
1mL = 5mg selenium
1.5mL = 7.5mg selenium
