Why Choose Coppermax™ Capsules 4gm?
Much of the soil in New Zealand is naturally low in copper; Copper has lots of biochemical and physiological functions so deficiencies are reflected in nerve, bone, immune and growth functions. Copper is involved directly with the activity of several enzymes and this is how the clinical signs of the deficiency develop:
• Laying-down of nerve fibre sheaths – ataxia
• Bone growth – skeletal abnormalities and retarded growth
• Immunity – Antibody production and neutrophil activity
• Protection from oxidative damage to cells
• Absorption of iron – if severe then anaemia may result
• Keratinisation of fleece fibre – weak fleece and irregular dye uptake
• Pigmentation of wool/hair through interference with melanin production
Coppermax™ Capsules are retained in the reticulorumen the released copper oxide needles dissolve slowly in the abomasum to provide long-term copper supplementation. High concentrations of molybdenum in the pasture may reduce the uptake of copper from needles however, this is limited by the position of the needles and absorption largely in the reticulum and abomasum.
Sustained copper release.
Treatment and prevention of copper deficiency.
Individual animal oral capsule is much more reliable than any trough/pasture treatment.
