PRODUCT INFORMATION

A 2018 New Zealand study² showed calves treated with Multimin Chrome^ experienced a significant reduction in health issues, with a 54% reduction in cases of diarrhoea and a 48% decrease in omphalitis compared to untreated calves. Morbidity and mortality rates in treated calves were reduced by half during the first 140 days of life.

University studies in Australia³ have shown that calves treated with Multimin Chrome had improved antioxidant status at 15 and 35 days post-treatment and tended to have a lower incidence of diseases and mortality within the first 50 days of life than untreated calves.                                                         

*Calculation based on 1,000 dairy calves and 52% and 58% reduction in morbidity and mortality respectively (Bates et al 2019). Assuming a 4.5% scour rate and a 3% mortality rate across the herd, cost of losing a heifer = $1,000, sexed semen herd, and 1 mL dose for a 50 kg calf (RRP of $475.20 per 500 mL or $0.95 per dose) of Multimin Chrome. This is a guide only. Outcomes may vary depending on farm management, animal responses and market value. ^The Multimin^® formulation used in this study may differ from the formulations registered in Australia.

It’s very likely that you’ve consumed chromium today without even realising it! Chromium is naturally present in a variety of foods, including nuts, vegetables, grapes, oranges, steak, and many others. Chromium is essential for health and is not only safe but also widely used in both human and livestock nutrition. In fact, chromium is a common ingredient in livestock feed supplements, mineral licks, and human dietary supplements.
