UltraCruz® Cattle Copper Bolus for Beef and Dairy Cattle

  • Oral bolus for beef and dairy cattle
  • Provides slow-release Copper
  • Promotes optimal health, including healthy hair growth and immune system function
  • Boluses available in both Adult and Calf sizes

UltraCruz® Cattle Copper Bolus for Beef and Dairy Cattle provides a beneficial source of Copper designed for both beef and dairy cattle in an easy-to-use slow release bolus. Copper is an essential trace mineral to help maintain a healthy coat, support the immune system, and aid in the prevention of Copper deficiency. These convenient, long-lasting boluses contain Copper Oxide particles to act as a slow-release source of Copper. When the bolus reaches the stomach, the gelatin capsule quickly dissolves to release the Copper particles. The copper then imbed in the rumen and slowly dissolve to gradually release copper.

If we give one bolus to adult cows, is it safe to supplement a Hi-Magnesium supplement that contains 1200ppm of copper? Or will this be too much in addition to the bolus?

Asked by: Les27
We would suggest consulting a veterinarian if those two supplement are okay to give together. We will do not have any testing with a Hi-Magnesium supplement. Thank you, SCAH Team

What is the shelf life for these? I only have a few head and I'm hoping I can use the left over for the next year.

How much should a yak be given? I have 5 take weighing anywhere from 400 lbs to the bull weighing @1100 lbs. Can I put the capsules just in their feed?

Asked by: Betsy
Hello! The calf bolus for bovines under 500 lbs or 6 months of age. Anything over that weight will get the adult bolus. We recommend you administer the bolus with a balling gun. For the calf bolus, we recommend the Medium Plastic balling gun, and for the adults we recommend the large plastic balling gun. They are not designed to be added into feed because the risk of being chewed by the animal.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great productWe use this product on over 1,000 calves annually with great success. In the future I hope that the capsules can be bright colored so they are easy to spot in a dirt corral if one is dropped or if a calf spit it up. Great product.
