Cobalife™ VB12 Plus Selenium For Sheep and Cattle

Cobalife™ VB12 Plus Selenium For Sheep and Cattle

Cobalife VB12 Plus Selenium is a vitamin B12 and selenium injectable supplement for sheep and cattle. Selenium is a trace element necessary for normal metabolism; it is an essential antioxidant, helps support muscle and immune function, and the synthesis of thyroid hormones. Vitamin B12 supports glucose production and protein synthesis to meet the production demands of growth and lactation.

Key Product Benefits: 

  • Treats and controls vitamin B12 (VB12) and selenium deficiency
  • Suitable for use in sheep, beef and dairy cattle
  • Contains hydroxocobalamin, a longer-acting VB12 compared to cyanocobalamin1,2
  • Supports animals during times of high demand
