Axiota Animal Health is an innovative global company that discovers, develops, and markets products for beef and dairy producers consistent with market and consumer demands.
Axiota’s focus is to deliver superior, first-in-class products that are scientifically proven with known modes of action, provide measurable commercial efficacy and are accepted by consumers.
What We Manufacture and Sell
Axiota’s non-antibiotic solutions prepare cattle to thrive during transition and stress and support producers’ goals of optimal health, performance, and animal well-being.
Axiota’s field-based sales and technical teams support beef and dairy producers and their technical advisors.
Our current cattle product platform includes Multimin® 90, an injectable trace mineral used for strategic supplementation of cattle, and Lactipro®, a rumen native probiotic that promotes healthy rumen function and stabilizes pH.
Axiota plans to expand both platforms to additional species and applications in the future.
Axiota develops our innovative solutions through two technology centers – the MS Biotec® Microbial Technology Center and the Warburton Injectable Trace Mineral Technology Center.
The MS Biotec microbial technology center is located in Wamego, Kansas, which is our production, R&D, and logistics center for Lactipro products.
