Excellent Uno Grow 20 x 112 g

UNO Grow is a mineral bolus for young stock with a duration of 6 months. It is a mineral feed (dietary feed) designed to improve the growth, development, and fertility of young stock. It also reduces costs, making it a self-paying investment. UNO Grow has been researched and proven in the field, which has demonstrated its effectiveness.

The absorbability and solubility of minerals from the ration for growing animals, such as young stock, are often unstable. This can lead to an increased need for vitamins and minerals. UNO Grow offers a guaranteed regular release of these important nutrients, which is perfectly absorbed by the young animal's body.

The benefits of UNO Grow are:

• Optimization of growth, development, and fertility of young stock
• Contains 6 key minerals and 4 essential vitamins
• Guaranteed controlled daily release
• 6 months of effectiveness
• Labor-saving
• Researched and proven
• Leaves no residue in the animal

Field research shows that using UNO Grow boluses can lead to an improvement in fertility relative to the age at calving of heifers. Compared to heifers that did not receive UNO Grow boluses, those that did receive the boluses had an average age at calving of 722 days, while heifers without boluses had an average age at calving of 762 days. This represents a difference of 40 days.

In addition, field research has also shown that the use of UNO Grow boluses can lead to a reduction in the number of inseminations per number of probable conceptions. Heifers that received the boluses had a ratio of 1.00 insemination per probable conception, while heifers without boluses had a ratio of 1.75. This represents a difference of 0.75 or 75%.

Finally, an improvement in the average growth of the young stock was also observed. Heifers that received the UNO Grow boluses had an average growth of 134 kg, while heifers without boluses had an average growth of 121 kg. That means a difference of 13 kg or 10%.

The recommended feeding advice is 2 UNO Grow boluses per animal weighing 150 kg or more. The bolus starts to dissolve slowly from the flat side, and the coating around the bolus ensures that it dissolves gradually over a period of 180 days (6 months). Administering 2 boluses is necessary because it ensures the young stock meets current requirements for trace elements and vitamins. Furthermore, the two boluses tap against each other, ensuring a constant release.

Why more and more farmers are choosing a mineral bolus:
Giving a mineral bolus to young stock is an effective way to support the health of your herd. Unlike minerals in powder form, a bolus is administered directly into the animal's stomach using a suitable bolus gun, allowing the minerals to be released continuously for 6 months. This helps maintain a constant mineral balance and prevent any deficiencies.

One of the advantages of using a bolus is the ease of administration. Instead of giving minerals in powder form via the mouth, a bolus only needs to be given once. This saves time and reduces the risk of errors.

Another advantage of a bolus is better mineral absorption. Because the bolus is administered directly into the stomach, mineral absorption can be improved compared to giving minerals in powder form via the mouth.

In addition, the use of a bolus leads to less contamination in the barn, as there is no loss of minerals due to spilled feed or the animal's behavior.

One of the main benefits of boluses is that they are not dependent on the animal's taste. This means that ingredients that are not very palatable, but are necessary for maintaining the animal's health, such as certain minerals or vitamins, can be incorporated into the bolus without the animal being aware of it and without depending on whether the cow wants to eat them.

In summary: a mineral bolus offers many benefits for supporting herd health, such as continuous mineral release, easy administration, better absorption, less contamination in the barn, and no dependence on ingredient selection since palatability is irrelevant!

The bolus can be administered with the colored rings in the bolus gun (27 mm).
