EPISODE 197 DETAILS Why Trace Mineral Supplementation For Cattle Your Best Shot At Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation For Cattle

Supports Cattle Health And Reproduction

Multimin® 90 (zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium injection) is a proven, one-of-a-kind solution to provide trace minerals known to support cattle health and reproduction.

Successful Breeding

Strategic trace mineral supplementation improves trace mineral status in breeding stock, leading to more calves in fewer days (references 1-2 below).

Healthy Calving

Third-trimester supplementation of trace minerals supports cow-to-calf trace mineral transfer and colostrum quality when used with a scours vaccine.3-4.

Enhanced Immunity

Enhances cattle vaccine protection and immune response when used as part of a vaccination protocol.5-6.

Why Is Trace Mineral Supplementation Necessary?

Inadequate trace mineral status in cattle can lead to suppressed immune function, lower fertility, and decreased growth. Oral nutrition programs face challenges such as:

Antagonists in water/feed binding minerals in the rumen, limiting absorption
Variation in intake among cattle
Increased mineral demand during stressful events, which oral minerals cannot quickly meet

How Does Multimin 90 Work?

Multimin 90 complements an oral nutrition program by increasing zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium levels in cattle. Administered via subcutaneous injection, it reaches peak levels in the blood within 8-10 hours and is stored in the liver for later use.

Important Safety Information For Multimin 90:

Not for use in humans, keep out of reach of children. Multimin 90 has a pre-slaughter withdrawal time of 14 days after injection. Do not use it during the first trimester of pregnancy or in pre-ruminant calves as safety has not been established. Selenium and copper are toxic if administered in excess and may lead to sudden death, depression, weakness, ataxia, salivation, and drooling. Do not use concurrently with other selenium or copper injections or boluses. Maximum volume per injection site is 7 mL. Allow a minimum of 30 days before considering repeat dosing. See prescribing information.
