New Concepts in Trace Mineral Supplementation of Grazing Cattle Hydroxy Sources, Injectable Sources and Pasture Application
نویسنده
چکیده
The trace mineral nutrition of grazing cattle is complicated by several factors among which are the impacts of trace mineral antagonists in grazed forage and the reliance on predictable, uniform intake of free-choice mineral supplements. Numerous options are available to assist in the management of trace mineral nutrition of grazing cattle. In recent years, significant research efforts have been focused on new technologies, which have revealed insight toward their utilization in trace mineral supplementation programs. This article will focus on three of these technologies, (1) hydroxy trace minerals, (2) injectable trace minerals, and (3) pasture application of Se.

Mineral Supplementation in the Grazing Cow Herd
Pasture forage is the most significant contributor to the trace mineral nutrition of grazing beef cattle. Mineral supplementation in beef cattle can be divided into two broad categories, macro-minerals and micro-minerals. These categories are based on the amount of mineral required in the cow’s diet. As a rule of thumb, micro-minerals are required in amounts less than 1 gram per day compared to...
متن کاملEssential Trace Minerals for Grazing Cattle in Florida
Introduction Pasture forage is the most significant contributor to the trace mineral nutrition of Florida's grazing beef cattle. Sandy, loworganic-matter soils have long been linked to the production of forages with low trace mineral content. In addition, the organic soils associated with the Okeechobee basin have been associated with the production of forages high in molybdenum, an antagonist ...

متن کاملTrace Element Supplementation of Livestock in New Zealand: Meeting the Challenges of Free-Range Grazing Systems
Managing the mineral nutrition of free-range grazing livestock can be challenging. On farms where grazing animals are infrequently yarded, there are limited opportunities to administer trace element supplements via feeds and concentrates. In New Zealand, where the majority of sheep, cattle, and deer graze pasture year round, inadequate intake of cobalt, copper, iodine and selenium is prevalent....
