Coopers Permatrace Copper Capsules For Cattle deliver a sustained release of copper to prevent and treat copper deficiency in cattle. The capsules are available in two formulations: Permatrace Copper 10 Capsules For Calves and Adult Cattle and Permatrace Copper 20 Capsules For Cattle. The 10g and 20g capsules contain fine copper needles in a polyethylene glycol capsule. The needles contain 390g/kg copper oxide.

Why choose Coopers Permatrace Copper Capsules For Cattle:

  • A polyethylene glycol capsule contains 10g and 20g capsules containing fine copper needles. The needles contain 390g/kg copper oxide.
  • Administered with a pelleting gun.
  • The pellet lodges in the rumen, where the capsule dissolves. The fine copper needles are released, and they travel to the abomasum, where they gradually break down. 
  • Released copper is stored in the liver and available when required.
  • Permatrace copper pellets provide a convenient, safe and long-lasting form of copper supplementation for your cattle.
  • Blood levels start to increase immediately and are often back to normal in deficient animals within 4 weeks.

Why are trace elements important:

A large number of trace elements play an essential role in many body systems, but the most important ones that Australian cattle producers face deficiency problems with are Selenium, Copper and Cobalt. Trace elements are required within the body to function and manufacture many enzymes or enzyme co-factors, as well as some vitamins. These enzymes, enzyme co-factors, and vitamins are vital to many body systems, and that is why trace element deficiency in cattle can manifest in a wide variety of clinical signs or production parameters.

What is the role of Copper in cattle:

Copper is involved in iron uptake from the diet and is vital for the manufacture of haemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the red blood cells. It is involved in many other enzyme systems in the body and has a role in producing many pigments in the body and hair. Copper is required for body and bone growth as well as nervous system and immune system function in cattle.

What are the signs of copper deficiency in cattle:

  • Fading coat colour and loss of hair condition
    • Facial hair is often affected first with a classic spectacled appearance where hair around the eyes loses its pigmentation.
    • General loss of coat condition with the hair appearing thin and dry and colour fading.
  • Poor growth rates – due to interference with metabolism.
    • More noticeable in spring when copper content of pasture is known to be lower than in summer.
    • Poor growth rates can have an adverse effect on age at puberty and subsequent fertility and milk production.
  • Lameness/bone fragility – due to osteoporosis.
    • Particularly apparent in the long bones and the ribs.
    • Anaemia and falling disease – due to the importance of copper in the production of haemoglobin
  • Intermittent scouring
    • Usually, it is only when there is a concurrent excess of molybdenum.

Permatrace Copper Capsules For Cattle were formulated in conjunction with CSIRO.

Important: 

  • Do not use excessive force when dosing in order to avoid trauma and damage to the throat of the animal.

Cattle Pellet and Capsule Applicator Instructions for Use:

  • To be effective, cattle pellets and capsules must be swallowed. It is recommended that pellets be administered using the Coopers Cattle Pellet Applicator 
  • When loading the applicator, use slight pressure to pass each pellet underneath the plastic retaining tube into the base of the nozzle.
  • Immobilize the head of the animal. This is best carried out in a crush with a bail gate at the end.
  • Stretch the animal’s head forward, open the animal’s mouth and pass the gun barrel along the middle of the roof of the mouth and over the base of the tongue. The tongue may have to be pulled aside if it obstructs the applicator.
  • When the applicator is in the correct position (see picture) completely squeeze the trigger to release the pellets. The cattle should swallow these easily without distress. Holding the mouth closed, after the applicator has been withdrawn, may assist with swallowing.
  • Care should be taken when administering pellets to young cattle. The barrel may not need to be inserted as far as for adult cattle. Never force the applicator into the mouth.
  • Under no circumstances should undue force be applied if any obstruction to ejection of  the pellets or capsules is encountered. Withdrawing the applicator slightly and re-positioning it correctly will ensure easy and safe pellet administration.
