Stress can arise in many situations in a dairy animal’s life, such as: weaning, transportation, breeding, calving, or vaccination.

A university study³ indicated that supplementing pregnant heifers with Multimin 90, along with a scours vaccine before calving, resulted in increased colostrum quality in heifers by increasing specific antibodies. Calves consuming the higher quality colostrum tended to have more specific antibodies against scour-causing viruses than control calves.

The average case of clinical mastitis in the United States costs at least $400, including both direct costs, such as therapeutics or non-saleable milk, and indirect costs, such as future production or reproductive loss.⁴

University research results showed⁵ that when a single injection of Multimin 90 was given to dairy cows with elevated somatic cell counts, there was reduced incidence of chronic clinical mastitis, particularly in first lactation cows. Additionally, in cows with three or more lactations, subclinical mastitis treatment success was increased.

In another university study, research results showed² a reduction in somatic cell counts, decreased clinical mastitis in multi-lactation cows, and decreased subclinical mastitis when cows were supplemented with zinc, copper, manganese and selenium by Multimin 90 injection at dry-off, 30 days pre-calving, and 35 days in milk.
