Sheep
Chelated trace element injection for sheep deficient in and/or responsive to copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), selenium (Se) and/or vitamin B12 supplementation.
Benefits
- Growth: Bone, muscle, joint development (Zn, Cu, Mn, Se)
- Reproduction: Supports key reproductive functions (fertility, pregnancy) through essential minerals (Zn, Cu, Mn, Se)
- Immune Defence: Boosts immune defense (Zn, Cu, Mn, Se)
- Energy: Vitamin B12 supports energy production which is the backbone of production

Marks-Min® Low Copper Injectable Trace Mineral with Vitamin B12 for Sheep contains selenium, copper, zinc, manganese and vitamin B12, which are required for optimal health, production and fertility. Sub-optimal trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at lambing and mating has been shown to negatively impact production, reproduction and health.
Optimising trace element status relying solely on oral supplements may fail as a result of variation in individual intake and reduced absorption because of antagonism of other ration components and minerals to these essential trace elements.
Using an injectable supplement can improve trace mineral and vitamin B12 status at these critical times, promoting a healthy immune system, which is important in resisting disease, and has a positive impact on reproduction.
For full list of indications see Fact Sheet.

DO NOT re-treat animals for 8 weeks after the last treatment.
Excess copper is toxic. Do not administer unless copper deficiency has been confirmed. Use Marks-Min Copper Free Injectable Trace Mineral with Vitamin B12 if appropriate.
Treatment frequency depends on the nutrient status of your flock. Consult your veterinarian or animal health consultant for supplementation advice specific to your situation.
