Troy Ironcyl Horse and Greyhound 5L

This product is discontinued, an alternative product is Ranvet Iron Plus  

• An aid in the treatment and prevention of iron deficiency anaemia in horses and greyhounds.
• Anaemia due to iron deficiency may be caused by worm infestations, excessive blood loss, and inadequate dietary intake such as grazing depleted pastures. Often, forms of iron in the diet are poorly absorbed. In the working horse anaemia may stem from iron loss in sweat and from increased breakdown of red blood cells associated with greater metabolic and physiologic demands.
• Ironcyl is a palatable, non-irritant haematinic syrup containing Iron (soluble iron salts), Copper, Cobalt and Manganese required for haemoglobin synthesis. 

  Composition

• Total Iron 10mg/mL (as Iron Amino Acid Chelate 2mg/mL, Ammonium Iron (III) Citrate 5mg/mL, Ferrous Gluconate 75mg/mL), Manganese 500µg/mL (as Manganese (II) Sulphate), Cobalt 1.5µg/mL (as Cobalt (II) Sulphate). Also contains Copper 20µg/mL (as Copper (II) Sulphate).

Dosage and Administration Horses

• 40mL/450kg bodyweight daily in the feed, or as directed by a veterinary surgeon. Treatment should continue until anaemia is corrected, usually 14-28 days. Further blood analysis may be required to monitor the resolution of anaemia.

Greyhounds 1mL/10kg bodyweight daily in the feed, or as directed by a veterinary surgeon. Treatment should continue until anaemia is corrected, usually 14-25 days.
