Indications:

Preventing the animals against copper, cobalt and selenium deficiensies which cause muscular dystrophy, reproductive problems, metabolic disturbances, skin hoof and hair conditions.

Principles of action:

Bacofos Solution is a unique formulation consisting copper, cobalt and selenium and phosphorus together in injection form.

Copper is an integral part of several enzymes with oxidase function. It also is essential for a variety of body functions including growth.

Cobalt is an integral part in Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) which acts as a co-enzyme in several metabolic pathways and in ruminants its main role is in the metabolism of propionate, which is required for synthesis of glucose via succinate in the liver.

Selenium is an integral part in the glutathione peroxidase (GSHPx) enzymes, which are involved in the protection from oxidant stress. These enzymes have a synergistic role with vitamin E and other antioxidants in removing toxic peroxides from tissue and preventing oxidative damage to membranes.

Phosphate is necessary for the formation of bone and teeth. Phosphate is also used as a building block for several important substances, including those used by the cell for energy, cell membranes, and DNA.
