Give your stock the mineral and vitamin boost they need now
Boosting essential minerals and vitamins in ewes pre-lambing will have a benefit for ewes and the benefit will be also passed onto lambs.
Most sources of minerals and vitamins sources are only designed to provide daily dose levels. However to correct deficiencies and boost performance certain minerals and vitamin need to be given at much higher levels.
ProVitaMin is a unique range of chelated minerals, vitamins and trace elements in an ultra-concentrated liquid drench form. The drench contains all the essential chelated minerals, vitamins and trace element that mothers need at lambing or calving time. The product is also designed to improve fertility, growth performance and thriftiness.
“ProVitaMin contains 25 different elements at a high level to help correct deficiencies, improve fertility and improve performance. The high level of B vitamins will help stimulate appetite and the chelated minerals allow for a slow release benefit.
“As a consequence of its highly concentrated formula, a 50ml dose is all that’s required for adult cattle, or 10 ml for adult ewes, facilitating quick and easy drenching.
Tommy added:
“ProVitaMin is available for sheep, with or without Copper, the range is completed by ProVitaMin – ColSelB12, containing Cobalt, Selenium and Vitamin B12 together with high levels of vitamins A, D and E. This drench is particularly cost effective at 9p per ewe for boosting the commonly deficient and important Colbalt, Selenium and Vitamin E. Reports by the Scottish Agriculture College has reported that boosting Selenium and Viamin E in the ewe before laming can improve lamb vigour and survival.
