The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of subcutaneous supplementation of MULTIMIN® 90 at 230 days of gestation, 260 days of gestation, and 35 days postpartum, on health & milk production of lactating Holstein cows. Subcutaneous TMS significantly decreased linear Somatic Cell Count (SCC) scores.Control cows had 1.31 times higher odds of subclinical mastitis than MULTIMIN® 90 cows. The main effect of interaction of treatment and parity was significant with a reduction of 39% in the cumulative incidence of clinical mastitis observed for multiparous cows treated with TMS. Additionally, control cows had 1.69 and 1.30 increased odds of having stillbirth parturitions and endometritis, respectively.

Multimin 90 Beef Reproduction Brochure
A recent study conducted by Kansas State University indicated that Multimin90 increased reproduction efficiency of cows and benefits overall pregnancy rates, fixed time AI pregnancy rates as well as calving distribution. Body condition score of cows from calving to conception were also improved in the group of cows that received the Multimin 90.
Multimin 90 IBR Vaccine Brochure
A recent study report by the University of Florida revealed that vaccination of cattle causes a decrease in trace mineral status of the animal, but that concurrent injection of Multimin can help manage the decrease in trace mineral status. Adequate levels of TM are critical for reproduction when you vaccinate prior to breeding.
Multimin 90 Questions & Answers Brochure
This brochure contains a myriad of frequently asked questions and answers regarding MULTIMIN® 90, how it works and how it can benefit your cattle or dairy operation.
Trace Minerals and the Innate Immune Response
Multimin supplies the selenium, copper and zinc required for immune function and growth. Multimin application prior to weaning of calves ensures optimal white cell function and neutrophil phagocytocis at weaning for optimal health and is also important for increased antibody production after vaccination.
Multimin 90 Calving Brochure
The trace mineral status of the calf is determined by the mineral status of the cow PRIOR to the calf being born. It is crucial to have a well-supplemented cow, in order to have a well-supplemented calf being born. The calf rapidly depletes the trace minerals it was born with, due to rapid growth rate and the fact that a cow’s milk is a poor source of trace minerals. Trace minerals are essential for the calf's immunity.
Multimin 90 Feedlot Brochure
Trials done using Multimin in stocker cattle and finishing cattle indicated an improvement in ADG and Gain: Feed as well as a reduction in cattle treated and retreated for bovine respiratory disease.
Multimin 90 Beef Brochure
Multimin helps to rapidly restore trace minerals lost by the cow after calving as well as improving the trace mineral status of calves to support their immune system. Multimin is also important in bull reproductive health before the breeding season.
Multimin 90 How It Works Brochure
Trial data from Iowa State University indicated that Multimin provides additional mineral from as early as 8 hours post injection for a period of 24 hours. The additional minerals are stored in the liver from 24 hours after injection and provides additional enzyme as early as 15 days after injection.
Press Story
Shot in The Arm
Optimum health and strong immunity depend on adequate nutrition, and this includes important trace minerals, especially copper, selenium, zinc and manganese. Some soils, and the feeds grown on those soils, are short in these minerals.
Important Trace Minerals for Cattle Health and Fertility
It can be a challenge to get calves to eat enought mineral supplement. Even if their dams are eating it, trace minerals are not transferred though milk very well. To make sure all calves have adequate trace minerals, some stockmen give each calf an injectable product soon after birth. Trace minerals also supports fertility in cattle.
