How Long Acting Copper Oxide Helps Swayback Essay Swayback,

also called enzootic ataxia, is a condition affecting young lambs and is connected to copper deficiency. This disease occurs when ewes do not have enough copper in their bodies during pregnancy or when the copper content in the soil and forage is too low. The long-acting copper oxide is expected to help treat and prevent this disease efficiently because it contains copper oxide in the form of tiny particles that are ingested with the animal’s feed and released slowly into the system. This way, the animal will gradually absorb more copper as opposed to a fast intake which could potentially be toxic in the case of an overdose.

Who is it for?
Coppraid is indicated for use in:
1, Ewes on pasture or soil known to be deficient in copper
2, Flocks with a history of swayback or suspected copper deficiency
3, Lambs that are classified as being at risk of developing copper deficiency associated conditions
4, Farms that are participating in a veterinary supervised copper supplementation program for breeding ewes
Directions & Cautions
Administer the capsule by mouth to the animal in accordance with the dosage instructions on the package insert or as directed by a veterinarian based on the animal’s body weight and stage of production. Copper requirements vary among species and may be higher in certain breeds. Copper can be toxic to some animals depending on the dosage and the sensitivity of the animal. Therefore, it is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate copper supplement for your flock.
