Each ml contains: Zinc 40 mg, Manganese 10 mg, Selenium 5 mg, Copper 15 mg, Chromium  5 mg
DIRECTIONS FOR USE:
Inject cattle subcutaneously on the side of the neck.

Adult Cattle:Â 1 ml / 100 kg
Treat as follows:
Bulls:Â 3 times per year
Cows: 4 weeks prior to calving, 4 weeks prior to breeding/AI, 4 weeks prior to drying off
Heifers:Â Every 3 months until breeding

For this reason, MULTIMIN + Se + Cu + Cr Cattle contains all five of these elements. Use only if recommended by a veterinarian.
SIGNS:
Zinc and / or manganese and / or selenium and / or copper deficiencies cause impairment of fertility, however there are many other possible causes of reduced fertility and professional advice should be sought. Skin lesions such as loss of hair and thickening of the skin (parakeratosis) may occur with a zinc deficiency.
In young animals, skeletal abnormalities such as enlarged joints, stiffness, twisted legs, weak hocks and general weakness may be due to a manganese deficiency.
Copper deficiency causes several additional symptoms, including sway back in young animals, anemia, and poor mineralisation of long bones. Nutritional muscular dystrophy (white muscle disease), particularly in young animals and also known as selenium-responsive myopathy, develops when selenium levels in animal tissues and glutathione peroxidase levels in the blood are low. A deficiency of enhancing substances such as vitamin E may further contribute to the onset of clinical disease.
In breeding animals, selenium deficiency contributes to early embryonic losses and the birth of weak offspring. Selenium treatment has considerably reduced the incidence of retained placentas in cattle. Chromium supplementation has also significantly reduced the occurrence of retained placentas.
