Description
Vetmec Multi Plus B12 contains zinc, copper, selenium and vitamin B12. All of which are required for optimal health, production and fertility.
Optimising trace mineral status using an injectable supplement improves trace mineral and vitamin B12 status (better than oral supplements) at critical times. Doing so promotes a healthy immune system, then the animal can resist disease and improve reproduction.
