Durvet Copasure Goat
Copasure® Goat 2g (for ruminating kid goats over 25lbs) and Copasure® Goat 4g (for goats 50-300lbs) are copper oxide needles in hard gelatine capsules. A dietary supplement that is used to supplement for copper deficiency.
- Producers report that an adequate copper status in goats may create a hostile environment for Barber Pole worms (Haemonchus contortus).
- Effective in both primary and secondary copper deficiency
- Independently proven to be an effective way of supplementing copper, even in the presence of dietary antagonists, including molybdenum.
- Easy to use – no injections, no abscesses and no pain or stress to the animal
- Single application lasts approximately 6 months (i.e. up to 6 times longer than copper injections)
- Optimum, known amount of copper delivered to each goat and controlled, unlike other methods where greedy goats may take too much and others not enough
- Good copper reserves in the mother at birthing, and in her milk, will ensure that her kids have sufficient copper reserves.

- 2g for kids over 25lbs
- 4g for goats 50-300lbs

Feeding
Insert capsule orally with suitable balling gun. Use only intact capsules, do not crush or break. Do not give to goats of unknown copper status or those supplemented with other sources of copper. Veterinary advice should be sought before treating breeds known to be copper sensitive. Do not use in goats suffering from jaundice or any other liver disorder. No other copper supplementation should be given immediately prior to 6 months after administration of capsule. Excessive levels of molybdenum, sulfur, selenium, and iron in feed or water may impair dietary copper absorption.
For best results, use Copasure Metal Balling Gun (sold separately).
