Description

Permatrace Cobalt Pellets For Cattle (Active Ingredient: Cobalt Oxide @ 300g/kg)

Permatrace Cobalt Pellets For Cattle are used to prevent and correct cobalt-responsive conditions in cattle. The pellets contain 9 grams of cobalt oxide in a 30-gram pellet and continually release small amounts of cobalt over 12 months (the “payout period”). This is converted into Vitamin B12 in the rumen. Permatrace Cobalt Pellets For Cattle are safe for cattle from 2 months of age to improve fertility and growth through slow-release science.

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.

Why choose Coopers Permatrace Cobalt Pellets;

  • 9-grams of cobalt oxide in a 30-gram pellet.
  • Easily administered orally with the specially designed Coopers Cattle Pellet Gun.
  • Developed by the CSIRO to be of the correct weight, density and specific gravity to stay in the rumen.
  • Continually releases small amounts of cobalt over a 12-month period (the “payout period”) to be converted into Vitamin B12 in the rumen.
  • Safe to use in cattle from 2 months of age.
  • Safe to use with Coopers Permatrace Selenium and Copper Pellets.
  • Improved fertility and growth through slow-release science.

Factors affecting the availability of cobalt to cattle;

  • Climate – cobalt is more likely to be deficient in very wet seasons due to leeching from the topsoil.
  • Pasture – deficiency can occur even in cattle grazing good quality pasture.
  • Fertilisers – heavy, long-term superphosphate usage can result in cobalt deficiency.
  • Soil type – soil ingested while grazing is an important source of cobalt. Soils with reduced cobalt levels include coastal, calcareous and sandy soils. Soils high in manganese (such as red basalt) can result in a secondary cobalt deficiency as manganese binds cobalt.

What is the role of Cobalt in Cattle;

  • Cobalt is an essential trace element as it is required by rumen microbes to synthesise Vitamin B12, and this is the only source of Vitamin B12 to the animal. 
  • Vitamin B12 is required by enzymes involved in a variety of metabolic processes. 
  • Cobalt is not stored for any significant length of time in the body but Vitamin B12 is able to be stored in the liver.

What are the signs of cobalt deficiency in cattle;

  • The primary effect of a cobalt deficiency in cattle is a loss of appetite, and then many other effects are felt as a result:
  • Poor coat condition, reduced growth rates, delayed onset of puberty, reduced milk production
  • Malnutrition – weepy eyes, poor growth, anaemia (pale mucous membranes), depression of the immune system, death
  • Marginal cobalt deficiency can lead to ketosis in lactating cattle and also decreased fertility.
  • Affected calves and calves born from affected cows have decreased survival rates

Directions Of Use

Dose:

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

  • Beef Cattle and young growing Dairy Cattle – 1 pellet per year. Provide one pellet as soon as convenient after eight (8) weeks of age.
  • Milking Dairy Cows – 1 pellet twice per year. Dose 1 pellet at drying off and again three (3) months after calving.

Dose first calf heifers about three (3) months before calving and thereafter as for cows.

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.
