STRATEGIC TRACE MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION FOR CATTLE HEALTH & REPRODUCTION

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. ^1-2

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

HERE IS WHY STRATEGIC MINERAL SUPPLEMENTATION IS IMPORTANT

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 MULTIMIN® 90 WORKS

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.

Benefits of Strategic Supplementation with Multimin® 90

• Reaches peak plasma levels within 8-10 hours
• Bypasses rumen antagonists
• Ensures consistent supplementation for every animal injected
• Can be used to prepare for high demand periods like calving, breeding, vaccination, and transportation

WHEN TO USE MULTIMIN 90®

Cows and Heifers

• Last trimester of pregnancy
• 30 days pre-breeding or at CIDR insertion (11 days before AI)

Bulls

• Weaning
• 90 days post-weaning
• 45-60 days prior to breeding season

Calves (2 months of age or older)

• Branding/first vaccination
• Weaning/preconditioning

Stockers

• At processing

How to Use Multimin 90®

• Consult your veterinarian and follow label directions.
• Multimin 90® has a 14-day pre-slaughter withdrawal and 0-day milk withdrawal.
• Calculate the correct dosage based on the animal’s weight and age.

By supplementing trace minerals, cattle producers can enhance herd health, reproduction, and immunity, leading to better productivity and success.

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.
