Product Benefits
GROWTH
MARKS-MIN® ZMS with B12 provides elements that support growth by aiding cell, bone, muscle, cartilage and connective tissue growth and development, as well as protein metabolism, DNA production, and thyroid function.
IMMUNE DEFENSE
MARKS-MIN ZMS with B12 provides elements that support immune defence by aiding in the function of the immune system and white blood cells that helps combat and resist the establishment of infections.
REPRODUCTION
MARKS-MIN ZMS with B12 provides elements that support reproduction by aiding the development of male and female reproductive organs and their functions, the process of fertilisation and also the maintenance of pregnancy.
ENERGY
Vitamin B12 plays a key role for the production of energy in livestock. Energy is required for all body processes and is the backbone of all production.
Indications
MARKS-MIN ZMS with B12 contains zinc, manganese, selenium and vitamin B12, which are required for optimal health, production and fertility.
Sub-optimal trace mineral and vitamin B12 status, particularly during periods of stress, such as lambing/calving, mating and drying off (dairy cows) have been shown to negatively impact production, reproduction and health.
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.
