Mineral Supplementation
PharVet bolus range is developed and produced at a French facility built to pharmaceutical standards.
Elite Dry Cow 90
Bolus specifically tailored for the dry cow to supply the trace elements and key vitamins necessary to meet the high demands and need for immunity support around this critical period. Administer at dry-off to provide support through the end of gestation,
calving and early lactation.

Super Grazing 250
Ultra-long-acting and highly concentrated bolus that provides a balanced and comprehensive supply of essential trace elements for the entire grazing season (250 days). It compensates for the trace element deficiencies in grass to support each physiological stage (lactation, reproduction and pregnancy).Ā

High Fertility / High Iodine
Unique long-acting bolus for grazing cattle focused on key trace elements critical for reproduction over 150 days. Use at least one month before fertility season or at turn-out. Recommended for cattle grazing brassica crops with concerns of poor iodine
availability. Can be used alongside Copper Plus bolus where required.

PharVet Advanced Bolus Technology
A micro-diffusion, micro-porous structure with controlled electrolytic delivery.
The porous structure of the bolus: based on the concept of a sponge enabling the passage and circulation of water from the external environment to the internal environment, promoting the continuous diffusion and release of trace elements.Ā
Incremental trace element solubility, based on various factors, such as pH, temperature of the environment, ionic strength, electrolyte concentration and stage of digestion (quantity of feed in the rumen).Ā

Salts specifically selected by VĆ©talis: oxides, carbonates, iodates, selenites, hydroxy analogues of selenomethionine, glycinates and chloride hydroxides broadly influence the solubility, diffusion and bio-availability of trace elements, as well as the choice of the various matrix excipients.Ā
Through controlled in vitro and in vivo dissolution, the electrolytic boluses enable the needs of the animals to be targeted, any deficiencies or sub-deficiencies to be covered and also, enable the discharge into the ground of unabsorbed ions or metallic salts to be limited.Ā

Clinical impacts of trace mineral deficiencies
Selenium deļ¬ciency can lead to myopathies (nutritionalmuscular dystrophy) in young ruminants and fertility disorders (retained membranes and uterine involutions) in adult animals due to a lack of prostaglandin. Both the mothers' and foetusā immune system may be weakened.
Iodine deļ¬ciency may cause hypothyroidismĀ (goitre) potentially leading to metabolic disorders, respiratory distress, growth defects, weakened immunity, dermatitis and abortion.
Cobalt deļ¬ciency results in anaemia, loss of appetite and allotriophagy; consequently growth may be delayed, ultimately leading to cachexia.
Manganese deļ¬ciency may lead to legĀ defectsĀ in young ruminants (bow legs and knuckling), metabolic disorders and infertility in adults.
Zinc deļ¬ciency is responsible for poor fertility, leg and hoof defects, various types of dermatitis and weakened immunity.
Copper deficiency may cause poor fertility, weakened immunity, rough and discoloured hair coats, anaemia, and allotrophagy (pica).
Iron deļ¬ciency may cause an iron-deficiency anaemia (loss of appetite and deļ¬cient growth).
Economic impacts because of mineral deficiencies in cattle and sheep
ā Delayed growth in young animals
ā Return of heat or silent heat
ā Extended calving interval
ā Milk quality
āPoor transfer of passive immunity
