Minerals can be divided into two main categories, 1) macro-minerals and 2) micro or trace minerals. Macro minerals are minerals that are needed/required in relatively large amounts in comparison to micro or trace elements which are needed/required in relatively small amounts. In general macro minerals are required at concentrations greater than 100 ppm of the diet and are often expressed as a p...

seventy six high and low producer cows were selected to determine the composition of theblood and milk parameters, and their interrelationships to determine the indices which could beuseful to improve the milk yield. the highest mean blood concentrations were found in highproducer cows. mean values for blood urea nitrogen (bun), serum protein (sptn), creatinine,triglycerides (tgs), cholesterol,...

milk samples from high and low milk producer holstein cows, were obtained during the morning and afternoon milking over a one week period. overall, 1064 samples were tested within 14 times sampling in urmia, iran. milk macro-mineral concentrations in the morning milking and in low producers were greater than in the afternoon and in high producers. the highest and lowest concentrations were obse...

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...

idiarrhea is known as the current and economic disease among new born calves. it is characterized by dehydration, loss of macro-minerals, weakness, recumbency and death. in calves diarrhea with different etiology, loss of liquid and electrolytes are the principle signs and the cause of death too. therefore, determination of the amounts of liquid and mainly electrolytes depletion is important in...

Milk samples from high and low milk producer Holstein cows, were obtained during the morning and afternoon milking over a one week period. Overall, 1064 samples were tested within 14 times sampling in Urmia, Iran. Milk macro-mineral concentrations in the morning milking and in low producers were greater than in the afternoon and in high producers. The highest and lowest concentrations were obse...

Sudan is a large country with an area of 1.88 million Km2, and has the second largest animal population in Africa consisting of 52.08 million sheep, 43.44 million goats, 41.76 million cattle and 4.62 million camels (MARF, 2013). The majority of animal wealth is concentrated in western Sudan (40%), followed by central Sudan (23%) (MARF, 2011). Minerals are divided into two groups, macro-minerals...

All plants must obtain a number of inorganic mineral elements from their environment to ensure successful growth and development of both vegetative and reproductive tissues. These minerals serve numerous functions: as structural components in macromolecules, as cofactors in enzymatic reactions, as osmotic solutes needed tomaintain proper water potential, or as ionized species to provide charge ...
