Selovin LA is a long acting Selenium injection for the treatment and prevention of Selenium deficiency in cattle and sheep.
Selovin LA contains Barium selenate, which slowly releases selenium into the body after injecting under the skin. Selovin LA works to elevate selenium blood and tissue levels in deficient states.
Selenium is a trace element that is vital for normal metabolism; it is an essential antioxidant which prevents and repairs cell damage and is a key component of proteins essential for muscle function, immune system and synthesis of thyroid hormones. Selenium is necessary for growth and fertility.
If deficient in Selenium, cattle and sheep can suffer from poor growth rates, reduced production, lower fertility and poor immunity. Young stock deficient in Selenium are also susceptible to White Muscle Disease (WMD), a condition affecting the skeletal and heart muscle, causing lameness and death from heart failure.

Note: Some export markets employ x-ray screening technology, which will detect radio opaque substances such as Barium selenate. Incorrect application of Selovin LA could result in injection site residues not being trimmed at slaughter leading to detection and a potential risk to meat export.
This product should not be used when selenium uptake from pasture is high or selenium is provided by other means (such as pasture top dressing, vaccine, pellets or selenium drenches) if blood selenium levels at treatment are high.
