The importance of minerals in the diet of horses is well recognized by horse owners and equine nutritionists alike. The type and quantity of minerals required are very diverse and essential minerals include the major or macrominerals and the trace or microminerals. This discussion will be restricted to three macrominerals, sodium, potassium, and chloride (Na+, K+, Cl-), that are essential to th...

A natural and a commercial Spirulina product of Cuban origin have been extensively studied together with four algal food products available on the Italian market. The contents of macrominerals, trace elements, free and total amino acids, fatty acids and of two important phycobiliproteins (C-phycocyanine and allophycocyanine) have been determined. The results are compared with those of other stu...

Abstract Protein content of the substrate affects nutritional composition maggot ( Hermetia illucens ). This study aimed to summarize and confirm a wide range findings about effect protein on composition, macrominerals, amino acids maggot. meta-analysis data was acquired from papers indexed by Scopus throughout past decade. The substrate’s concentration used define fixed factor, whereas several...

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 ...

Eighty-seven Nellore animals were utilized in this study to estimate net requirements for the maintenance and growth of beef cattle as well as the retention coefficients of 13 minerals: macrominerals (Ca, P, Mg, K, Na, and S) and trace elements (Cu, Fe, Mn, Se, Zn, Co, and Cr). The net requirements for maintenance and the true retention coefficient were estimated by using the regression between...
