The Selekt range of nutritional supplements continues to be well received with New Zealand veterinarians. It is fast becoming recognised as a tool farmers can utilise more than at calving time. Fluid therapy is a very important consideration when dealing with dehydrated cattle.

The Selekt fluid pump and drencher, along with the Selekt nutritional range of sachets, provide an effective and rapid way for farmers to rehydrate their cows on farm. All cows after calving are dehydrated to some degree. Twenty litres of warm water with a Fresh Cow Selekt sachet will help rehydrate and maintain her calcium levels.

Do you have farmers with devices giving them health alerts? After checking cows for other health issues, would 20L plus a sachet of Restore or Off-Feed be appropriate?

The ease of use of the Selekt pumps removes the barrier (whether real or perceived) to tubing cows and supporting them with an appropriate product from the Selekt nutritional range of sachets—Fresh Cow, Restore, Off-Feed.

Now is a good time to ensure your Selekt pump is working freely. Agilis reps are available to service your pump, or there is a video to help you service your own and farmers’ pumps. To ensure a pump’s long life, it is important to ensure they are well cleaned after each use. Only using Selekt sachets and Glycerol Plus also decreases pump degradation, which can be caused by using other products.

The Selekt range is made out of pharmaceutical-grade materials and is packaged in clean, tidy, and convenient foil sachets—making storage, transport, and use a breeze.

We are now offering a Spring Starter Pack below, which is available from your wholesaler.
