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

Strategic trace mineral supplementation improves trace mineral status in breeding stock, leading to more calves in fewer days (references 1-2 below).

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.

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 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 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 (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.
  • Maximum volume per injection site is 7 mL.
  • Follow Beef Quality Assurance guidelines for proper subcutaneous injections.
  • 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.

    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 period by 50% or more
  • Reduces post-terminal processing performance losses
  • Supports rumen health in hospital cattle
  • Lactipro promotes rumen health during transitions to higher-grain diets, grazing crop residue, and as bulls move to higher energy diets during development.

    How Does Lactipro Work?

    Naturally occurring Mega e takes weeks to handle grain-based diets effectively. Fast-growing bacteria produce excessive lactic acid, lowering rumen pH and causing health issues like acidosis. Lactipro introduces Mega e directly into the rumen, consuming lactic acid and producing butyric acid, which promotes cell growth and better VFA absorption.

    The Importance of Mega e Strain

    MS Biotec’s patented Mega e strain is selected for its:

    • Rapid growth and resilience
  • Production of butyric acid
  • Compatibility with feed additives
  • Enhanced rumen fermentation with other microbials
  • Two Formulations of Lactipro
    LactiproNXT®

    An easy-to-use drench available in 200 mL and 1,000 mL pouches, ideal for processing multiple cattle.

    LactiproFLX®

    A small capsule in a 25-capsule resealable pouch, perfect for individual animals or small groups.

    Administration

    Both formulations provide equal bacterial counts and are effective, with an extended shelf life requiring refrigeration. LactiproFLX comes in three types:

    • Dairy – for replacement heifers and mature cows
  • Feedlot – for feedlot cattle and developing bulls
  • Calf – for young calves
  • Use Cases
    Accelerated Step-Up

    Shortens step-up period by 50% or more for a faster diet transition.

    Terminal Processing

    Reduces post-terminal processing performance losses.

    Other Use Cases

    Supports rumen health during diet transitions, grazing, and bull development phases.

    Integrating Lactipro ensures a healthier rumen, leading to better overall cattle health and profitability.
