The Time CapsuleĀ®

Proven prevention against facial eczema

The Facial Eczema (FE) season can be unpredictable. Facial Eczema is not curable but it is preventable and the Time Capsule is the most effective and proven method for preventing FE.

In a 2019 NZ trial approved by an animal ethics committee, conducted by an independent research company, The Time Capsule was tested using serum zinc levels* in cattle against another facial eczema bolus. The results told us that:

  • The Time Capsule protected* 100% of the two groups of animals one week after treatment.
  • The other bolus only protected* 77% of animals one week after treatment.
  • The Time Capsule continued to give consistent protection for the length of the trial.
  • The other bolus was neither fully protective nor consistent, never reaching 100% of animals protected.

The reasons for The Time Capsule superior performance are our New Zealand-designed formula and our consistent dissolving technology.

*Serum Zinc levels are the recognised method for reliably proving effective facial eczema protection levels. Serum Zinc greater than or equal to 18μmuol/L are considered to provide protection against facial eczema. Graph
