Multimin Evolution - A local success story. No matter where you’re from!
Already with dozens of peer-reviewed scientific publications from some of the world’s most recognised universities, and over 90 million doses used on farms, Multimin Evolution Injection for Cattle is the single most proven multi-trace mineral injection in the world.
Multimin Evolution contains the highest trace mineral content (90 mg/mL)1 of any other injectable trace mineral product on the market; it contains copper, selenium, zinc and manganese in a low volume formulation that is rapidly absorbed and readily utilised. Multimin Evolution supports high demand periods including dry off, calving, artificial insemination, natural mating and weaning; improving cattle productivity when it matters most.
Australian farmers are reaping the benefits of Multimin Evolution. But instead of us telling you about the benefits of Multimin, we thought we would let the rest of the country weigh in*.

“We treated our heifers from our two properties,‘Morrisvale’ and ‘Quicksilver’ with a Multimin and a drench four weeks before AI. The heifers responded great in this tough season and we had our best response in our program to date: 72% conceived in the first round of AI. We are long term users of Multimin and love the results.”
“Healthy happy cows are #1 in our breeding operation. You have better pregnancy rates, higher calving and weaning rates, and higher weaning weights for calves.
We relocated our herd from the Atherton Tablelands to the coast. Our cattle were facing a 1,000 ft difference in altitude, a new climate and different pastures. We decided to use Multimin to help them transition. Our heifers really held condition despite the stress caused by transport.”
“The cows are calving unassisted with no retained afterbirth and the calves are healthy with plenty of energy. We are observing our cows during calving. The cows have come into the calving phase performance ready and unstressed. Compared to last year where we had some health issues early on, we have found that the Multimin pre-calving treatment has had a really positive impact on our animals' health.”
“We looked at how Multimin affected our reproductive performance this year, compared to last year when we did not use Multimin. Overall, there has been a 6% increase in our conceptions to ET (Embryo Transfer), a 10% increase in the AI (Artificial Insemination) conceptions, and a 15% decrease in the empties after our AI program. For us, this means more cattle conceived overall, within the period, therefore more calves on the ground, which equates to more money! Notably, Multimin has been the only change we made to the program and so, on face value and all things considered, it seems like Multimin has really paid off for us.”
“We decided to use Multimin across multiple animal classes at our dairy operation in Tasmania. Since completing the Multimin treatment, we found the improvement in the overall health and immune response of the animals treated has resulted in less drop back at weaning, fewer cases of pink eye, mastitis and retained placenta. After getting these results from Multimin, we plan to repeat these treatments and use the product in our future programs.”
“Our weaners have continued to do well in these tough conditions thanks to Multimin - It’s given them the boost they need. We gave our stud Brahmans & Brahkles (Speckle Park cross Brahman) weaners Multimin at the time of weaning. The conditions are quite tough at the moment up here at Mundaberra QLD, however they have held up pretty well, the Multimin has given them a good boost they needed to survive and continue to grow out well.”
We have been using Multimin for about two years and have seen great results on my dairy cows having earlier cycles and going into calf on the first mating a lot easier, improving our conception in the first mating from 35% to 44%. We are absolutely loving the product and have spread the word.
