German company Schaumann has introduced OXIMIN, a new micronutrient complex for the protection of the health of dairy cows.

A weakened immune status, a higher incidence of udder inflammation and declining reproductive performance in dairy cows are often the stress-induced consequences of the activity of ''free radicals''.

The cell protection complex OXIMIN is the most recent result of Schaumann research activities. This new micronutrient complex combines vitamin E, natural and synthetic antioxidants, rumen- and small intestinally available selenium and organically bound copper, zinc and manganese for a unique three-tier immune defence system.

The OXIMIN cell protection complex prevents the regeneration of free radicals, neutralises already formed free radicals and supports the repair of damaged cell constituents.

Schaumann offers the new micronutrient complex OXIMIN in several of its Rindamin and Rindavit products, which are available either as a complete mineral with different Ca:P ratios or as a concentrate with a Ca:P ratio of 1:1.

The Rindavit products additionally contain the proven Bovin-S Complex, which further enhances the effect of OXIMIN.
