Safety Sheet
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR MULTIMIN® 90: Not for use in humans, keep out of reach of children. Multimin 90 has a preslaughter withdrawal time of 14 days after injection. Do not use 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.

Your Best Shot at Strategic Trace Mineral Supplementation


Supports successful transitions

Multimin® 90 (zinc, copper, manganese, and selenium injection) is a proven, one-of-a-kind solution to provide trace minerals. Research results indicate that strategic trace mineral supplementation with Multimin 90 supports a healthy immune system1 and gives dairy producers assurance that each cow receives supplementation of four key minerals to prepare for times of peak demand, such as the third trimester2 and the transition period. Studies also show strategic trace mineral supplementation supports udder health.3

Supports a healthy immune system

A large pen study conducted in Texas evaluated dairy cows through heat stress. Research results1 indicated that strategic trace mineral supplementation with Multimin 90 supported the immune system. Results also indicated that trace mineral supplementation had a tendency to reduce metritis cases and stillbirths.

Quickly replenishes trace minerals in the cow after in utero transfer to the calf

Trace mineral levels of cows decrease by approximately 30% at freshening. University research results4 showed that Multimin 90 caused mineral levels to peak in the blood in 8–10 hours, with increases in liver levels within 24 hours post injection.

Supports udder health

The average case of clinical mastitis in the United States costs $569, including both direct costs, such as therapeutics or non-saleable milk, and indirect costs, such as future production or reproductive loss.5,6

University research results showed7 that trace mineral supplementation with a single injection of Multimin 90, when given to dairy cows with elevated somatic cell counts, reduced incidence of chronic clinical mastitis, particularly in first lactation cows. Additionally, in cows with three or more lactations, more subclinical infections tended to be cleared.

In another university study, research results showed3 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-freshening, and 35 days in milk.
