EPISODE 191 DETAILS HOW TO USE MULTIMIN & LACTIPRO.  Your Best Shot at Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation for Cattle Supports Cattle Health and Reproduction Multimin® 90 is a unique injectable solution containing zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium, proven to support cattle health and reproduction. Research shows that strategic trace mineral supplementation enhances breeding success, healthy calving, and improved immunity. Successful Breeding Using Multimin 90 improves trace mineral status in breeding stock, leading to more calves in fewer days. Healthy Calving Third-trimester injections improve cow-to-calf trace mineral transfer and colostrum quality, especially when used with a scours vaccine. Enhanced Immunity Multimin 90 boosts vaccine protection and strengthens the immune response when integrated into a vaccination protocol. 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 rapidly increasing zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium levels in cattle during high-demand periods. 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 Rapid peak plasma levels within 8-10 hours Bypasses rumen antagonists Ensures consistent supplementation for every animal injected Can be used during 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 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. Maximum volume per injection site is 7 mL. Follow Beef Quality Assurance guidelines for proper subcutaneous injections. By strategically using Multimin 90, 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.

See prescribing information. Introduction to Lactipro® Lactipro® is a rumen-native probiotic containing a live, stable strain of Megasphaera elsdenii (Mega e®), an effective lactic acid utilizer. It helps cattle producers maintain healthy rumen pH and improve profitability by accelerating finishing diets and reducing post-terminal processing mortality.   Key Benefits of Lactipro® Shortens step-up
