UNO Grow is a mineral bolus for young cattle with a duration of action of 6 months. It is a mineral feed (dietetic feed) developed to improve the growth, development, and fertility of young cattle. It is also cost-effective, making it self-sustaining. UNO Grow has been tested and proven in practice, demonstrating its effectiveness.

The absorption and solubility of minerals from the diet for growing animals, such as young cattle, is often unstable. This can lead to a greater need for vitamins and minerals. UNO Grow provides a guaranteed regular supply of these important nutrients, which is perfectly absorbed by the body of the young cattle.

The benefits of UNO Grow are:

• Optimization of growth, development, and fertility of young cattle
• Contains 6 important minerals and 4 essential vitamins
• Guaranteed controlled release rate per day
• 6 months effective
• Labour-saving
• Tested and proven
• Nothing is left in the animal

Field research shows that the use of UNO Grow boluses can lead to an improvement in fertility compared to the calving time of heifers. In comparison to heifers that did not receive UNO Grow boluses, heifers that did receive the boluses had a calving time of 722 days, while heifers without boluses had a calving time of 762 days. This means 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 likely conceptions. Heifers that received the boluses had a ratio of 1.00 insemination per likely conception, while heifers without boluses had a ratio of 1.75. This means a difference of 0.75 or 75%.

Finally, there is also an improvement in the average growth of the young cattle. 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. This means a difference of 13 kg or 10%.

The recommended feed instruction is 2 UNO Grow boluses per young cattle with a weight of 150 kg or more. The bolus begins to dissolve slowly on the flat side and the coating around the bolus ensures that the bolus gradually dissolves over a period of 180 days (6 months). The administration of 2 boluses is recommended because this meets the current need for trace elements and vitamins. Besides, the two boluses touch each other, which ensures a constant release.

Why more and more farmers are choosing mineral boluses:
Administrating a mineral bolus to cattle is an effective way to support the health of your herd. Unlike minerals in powder form, a bolus is directly administered into the animal's stomach with the use of a designated bolus applicator, allowing the minerals to be continuously released for 6 months. This helps to maintain a constant mineral balance and prevent deficiencies.

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

Another advantage of a bolus is the improved absorption of minerals. Because the bolus is directly administered into the stomach, the absorption of minerals can be improved compared to supplying minerals in powder form orally.

Furthermore, the use of a bolus results in less pollution in the stable, there is no loss of minerals through the feed or the behaviour of the animal.

One of the most important benefits of boluses is that they are not dependent on the taste of the animal. This means that ingredients that are not as tasty but are necessary for maintaining the health of the animal, 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 animal wants to eat it.

In summary, a mineral bolus offers many benefits for support of the health of the herd, such as continuous release of minerals, easy administration, improved absorption, less pollution in the stable, and no dependency on ingredient choice because taste is not relevant!
