[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1580909, member: 9096"] Here's Multimin 90 as listed on Valley vet Multimin 90 is a supplemental source of zinc, manganese, selenium and copper for cattle. Each ml of Multimin 90 is a chelated source of 60 mg zinc, 10 mg manganese, 5 mg selenium and 15 mg copper. Multimin 90 should be administered to cattle by SQ injection. The recommended dosage is 1 ml per 100 lbs body weight for calves up to 1 year of age; 1 ml per 150 lbs for cattle 1-2 years of age; and 1 ml per 200 lbs for cattle over 2 years of age. Frequency of administration may vary to suit management program. Zinc, manganese, selenium and copper. So doing some math, a 1000 lb cow needs 5 cc, thus gets 65mg of copper (I'm going to take copper as an example) I like my mineral to be 2500mg/kg copper, 1kg is 35 oz, so a cow here should be getting 2500/35 * 4oz/day = 285mg per cow per day. It's quite clear that Multimin 90 is no replacement for my mineral program. I sometimes wonder if the additional price of all-chelated minerals is worth it, especially on the more common things.. Copper sulfate is quite bio-available, and it's [u]cheap[/u] in sulfate form... same goes for Zinc, Magnesium and Cobalt. I'd certainly consider a chelated form of Selenium for example.. at 100mg/kg in the feed the additional price wouldn't be as noticed on a small quantity. Ideally you should use a liver biopsy, but a blood test can do too.. I'd recommend pulling blood from a heavy milking cow just before bull turnout, that's her most stressed time and when you'll see the deficiencies clearly anyhow. I did it once, cost $100 and I'm glad I did! [/QUOTE]
