The copper-free version of Marks-Min, supplying selenium, zinc, manganese and vitamin B12 without copper. It exists for the herds and flocks where copper is already adequate or where adding more would be a problem — sheep in particular tolerate far less copper than cattle, and an inclusion that is routine for cattle can be fatal to them.
Withholding is nil. Supplied in a 1L pack.
If copper supplementation is wanted, use Marks-Min with copper for cattle, or Marks-Min Low Copper for sheep.
Key points
- Selenium, zinc, manganese and vitamin B12, no copper
- Sheep and cattle
- Nil withholding period
- Schedule 6
Exact concentrations are printed on the label and the product data sheet.
Use
Trace mineral injections are a targeted correction, not a routine top-up. Confirm a deficiency with blood or liver testing before starting a program, and work to a vet's recommendation on dose and timing. Injectable trace minerals bypass the rumen, so the margin between a therapeutic dose and an excessive one is narrower than with a lick or a premix — selenium in particular.
