Organic sheep bolus

[Slowcow]

Anyone found any that can be used? Always used agrimin but they have let their certification laspe with organic farmers and growers.

Seems more important now I've just heard the rumenco place had a fire and can't get organic mineral blocks at the moment

Thanks

Can we not use the Smartrace ones now then?

 

[Slowcow]

Apparently not, they made by agrimin aren't they? Got picked up at our last inspection in October, I've asked what we can use and they said find something different and we'll look at which isn't much help!
I think cosecure are out as there is something in the coating?

Some ground we rent is short on colbalt and I put rams in in 2 weeks, ideally I bolus them 2 weeks ago

Can you get a derogation for smartrace if there’s nothing else available and they haven’t changed the ingredients?

Its not an issue. Always used smarttrace 24/7 plus never asked derogation as its accepted

I use Rookies salt lick blocks

Apparently they changed something at the end of last summer? I've asked about derogation and been told not.
Should be reaproved this summer bit that's to late for me really.

I've used them for years too but was picked up in October inspection last year.
Which approval body are you with?

Mayo 4-1 here, very short in cobalt, vet certificate and photographic evidence showing cobalt deficient and it’s never been questioned.
