When it comes to turning average grass into premium red meat, few animals do a better job than NZ beef cows. But grazing harder country can mean missing out on essential nutrients. Copper is a prime example, says veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford. Proudly sponsored by Coppermax Capsules.
Mention bones, and most people think ‘calcium’. But guess what? Copper is essential for bone strength. Without enough, your dairy heifers can end up looking stronger than they actually are. Veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford explains how long-acting capsules help prevent deficiency. Proudly sponsored by Coppermax Capsules.
By the time they have their first calf, you’ve already invested thousands in your heifers. The only way to get a return on that investment is through good growth, reproduction and longevity. Long-acting Se can make all the difference. Veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford tells us more. Proudly sponsored by Selovin LA injection.
Today’s ewes are more productive and efficient lamb-machines than their predecessors could have ever hoped to be. Yet even so, as veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford reveals, selenium deficiency can still put the brakes on their potential. A long-acting supplement might be in order.

Beef cows don’t spend much time in the yards and when they do, it’s usually all about their calves. If you want more calves next spring – but not more yard work – giving cows long-acting Se at marking time could be worth a shot. Veterinarian Peter Pulford explains why. Proudly sponsored by Selovin LA Injection.
Ewe lambs are the future of your flock. Convenient, long-acting Se is one way to help them grow into healthy, fertile ewes, especially if you’re drenching less to manage parasite resistance. Veterinarian Peter Pulford unpacks the benefits. Proudly sponsored by Selovin LA Injection.
Dry-off is a well-earned break for both you and your cows. But it’s also a time when they may not get as much selenium as they and their unborn calf need towards the end of pregnancy. Veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford explains how long-lasting Se can help. Proudly sponsored by Selovin LA injection.
Neither grass, nor grazing animals, need cobalt in its pure form to survive. But animals absolutely need something only cobalt (or a supplement) can give them – Vitamin B12.
Are your sheep and cattle getting enough? The answer is not as simple as it might seem, says veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford. Proudly sponsored by Prolaject™.
Vitamin B12 is essential for lambs to grow, but did you know they can’t physically create it in their own bodies in their first few months of life? A fast-acting injection can keep them thriving from birth to weaning. Veterinarian Dr Peter Pulford explains. Proudly sponsored by Prolaject™.
