Tips For Use

General Directions:

Avoid carcass damage:

  • Sterilise all injection apparatus by boiling (or equivalent) before use. 
  • Avoid the use of strong disinfectants on the apparatus.
  • Maintain cleanliness at all times.
  • Keep needles sharp and clean. Replace frequently.
  • Use the shortest needles possible, certainly not exceeding 15 mm.
  • As far as possible, avoid injection in wet weather or under dusty conditions.
  • This product should be injected only under the skin.
  • If possible, inject high on the neck behind the ear.

Suggested Cobalife VB12 treatment programs:

Deficiency in Vitamin B12 may occur at any stage of the year but is more likely to happen at the following times:

  • When animals are under prolonged periods of stress due to adverse weather or when feed intake is low or lacks nutritional value.
  • During stress from calving/lambing or transportation.
  • During growing periods of stock.

There are two strategic treatment times that supplementation with Vitamin B12 can optimise your production response.

  • Before mating to help improve feed utilisation, especially when livestock are stressed from high production demands or adverse weather. Improved feed utilisation may lead to improved body condition and fertility.
  • Before calving/lambing time when stock are under high stress. This will assist ewes and cows during the rigours of gestation and early lactation and supply a dietary source of Vitamin B12 to their young to meet their daily requirements and improve weight gains.

Storage: 

  • Store below 25°C (air conditioning). 
  • Protect from light.

First Aid:

  • If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre. Phone Australia 131 126.
