Facial Eczema

The Time Capsule

Available for lamb, sheep, calves and cattle. Sold per box.

Key Benefits

  • The Time Capsule is a controlled release bolus that allows a consistent daily dose of zinc to be released into the rumen to protect ruminants against facial eczema for 4-5 weeks in cattle and 6 weeks in sheep.
  • It leaves no residue, does not have a withholding period and is safe, cost effective and easy to use.


Feeding Directions
Apply bolus or boluses (use correct capsule for animal type and size being treated) orally using the correct time capsule applicator gun. Re-treat at *5 weekly
(for cattle) or 6 weekly (sheep) intervals as required.

*Re-treat at 4 weeks if pasture spore counts are high.

  • DO NOT use with other weighted intra-ruminal capsules (e.g. magnesium, cobalt, trace element)
