THE PROBLEM
65 % of California cattle are at risk of selenium deficiency, which can cause health problems such as White Muscle Disease, abortions, retained placenta, infertility, poor immune system function and other problems.
THE SOLUTION
One Se365 Selenium bolus, per animal, prevents selenium deficiency for one year.
DATA GRAPH
The above graph represents data from a one-year study on selenium-deficient heifers done at University of California Sierra Foothill Research and Extension Center, Browns Valley, CA. All the heifers were run together on pasture or foothill range and exposed to exactly the same conditions. There were 19 control heifers and 18 heifers given one PTM Se365 bolus on Day 0.
Blood samples were taken at the intervals shown and analyzed for selenium concentration. The control heifers remained very selenium-deficient for the entire year. The PTM-treated animals showed immediate increases in blood Se levels by Day 14 and remained above the 40 ppb level for the entire year (below 50 ppb [parts per billion] is considered selenium-deficient).
