Immunity

Stress as well as behavioral factors can lead to trace minerals deficiencies and influence the immunity of animals.

Trace minerals are essential for optimal immune functions

Acute, long-term or chronic stress in animals and their behavioral factors can have a negative effect on immunity. This stress will produce metabolites which will damage cells, and if this stress is not regulated, it will spread throughout the body and affect multiple organs and major vital functions.

Also, stress will induce a trace minerals (TM) imbalance, which will result in a poor immune response, because TM are essential for optimal immune functions which are:

Resistance of biological barriers to infections (skin, hoof, mucous membranes),
Development of immune cells essential for the inflammatory response,
Activation of the adaptive immune response and the production of antibodies.

Prevention

Changes in nutrition, batching of animals, breeding... A cattle's life is punctuated by a number of episodes that can cause stress and compromise the immunity of the herd as a whole. Injectable trace minerals help support cattle's immunity and prevent detrimental consequences of critical phrases of the production cycle, to limit the onset of subclinical and clinical diseases.

Colostrum

Colostrum is the primary source of trace minerals for the newborn calf and will allow it to create its first stores. A good mineral status of the cow at calving is related to a high concentration in trace minerals. Since calves are exposed to oxidative stress, colostrum with high mineral status helps them build immunity and cope with new stressful events.

Another stressful event: transport

Beyond the transport itself, the cattle will find themselves in a new environment, with new animals and new breeding management.
These events and changes have an impact on their productivity and resilience. A supply of trace minerals after this stress, even for animals already in deficiency, allow them to perform as well as well supplemented animals.

Support the immune system with trace minerals

Injectable trace minerals supplementation helps reduce immune system damage caused by poor nutrition, mineral supplementation, environmental conditions or stress.

Our four trace minerals strengthen the three parts of the immune system because they are a direct source of nutrients used to:
- maintain the good health of the physiological barrier,
- the production of immune cells,
- activate the specific immune system

By boosting the immune system, we prevent subclinical or clinical diseases that lead to reduced performance.
