Can scientific wise people explain the difference in these 2 growvite products

[Razor8]

Can someone scientific people explain the difference in these two sheep products?? One is sold in UK and the other in Southern Ireland

I would imagine these products should be exactly the same. All the trace elements are different

Take cobalt for example in uk it's labeled as colbalt sulphate B.P 25g and the other labeled as E3 cobalt only 2g. Is this the same?

I think the E refers to elemental rather than the form:

Cu is copper CuSO4 is copper sulphate. For every 100g of copper sulphate we get 37.6g of elemental copper.

You've truncated both labels so its hard to compare. I don't see copper in the bottom one, but its in the top.

Likely to be different rules regarding inclusion North and South of the border.

give 10 ml Growvite Sheep to each ewe 2 weeks before tupping. Then give a further 10 ml per ewe from 4 weeks before lambing. You can also give it to lambs over 3 weeks old, at the rate of 1 ml per 5 kg of body weight at intervals of 6 weeks.

Tulivin also supply Growvite Sheep with copper, which contains added copper as 6.25 g of copper per litre.

Your right one has no copper but other trace elements would be the same I thought

If cobalt is 5 times stronger in uk one then there a big difference in the 2 products

I might be wrong but IIRC it's terrible stuff for blocking dosing guns???
