Product Information

Full details

The Agrimin 24-7 Smartrace is a sustained-release bolus designed for adult sheep, gimmers, and hogs over 40kg, providing essential iodine, selenium, and cobalt supplementation. It is particularly beneficial during critical periods like tupping, scanning, overwintering, and for rams before mating season, ensuring optimal nutritional status for reproductive health and general well-being. A key consideration is that it requires a specific applicator (AGR0220) for administration.
