Usefulness of Rumineral, i.e. multicomponent mixture for cows and young cattle in case of alimentary stress and mineral disturbances was evaluated. The mixture was administered for 20—30 days at a dose of 100 g per 250 kg of body weight in healthy cows at the beginning of pasture season and while the change of feed took place; besides, it was administered in sick cows with the signs of osteomalatio and the syndrome of fat overmobilization, and in bulls with rachitis and degenerative arthritis. The clinical status of the animals was under control and it included especially the function of the alimentary tract and productivity; in addition in healthy cows the level of selected indices of mineral, carbohydrate and protein metabilisms were evaluated. The findings indicated that Rumineral was easily applied, improved appetite, stimulated milk production and weight gains. It influenced beneficially the mineral metabolism protecting from hypomagnesemia and from the development of P and Ca deficiences; the drug also accelerated the recession of clinical signs of the disease caused by mineral disturbances.
