  1. Mineral & VitaminSupplementationfor Beef Cattle on pasture

  2. Cost of Correcting Deficiencies

  3. Why determine mineral & vitamin inadequacies, interactions , and toxicities? • Cellular level • Act as co-factors, co-enzymes metabolic processes • Structural component (bones/teeth) • Nerve impulses • Osmotic balance • Co-transporters

  4. Why determine mineral & vitamin inadequacies, interactions , and toxicities? • Economic Level • Reduced reproductive performance • Reduced growth rate • Suppressed immune function • Nutritional disorders • Milk fever • Grass tetany • PEM • White muscle disease • Goiter

  5. Is Something Going On We Can’t Always See?

  6. Variation in mineral content of forages • Soil type,pH, soil nutrients • Seasonal variation • Spring season – cool season forages – Mg deficiency • Type forage • Ca: Legumes > grasses • Plant stage of maturity

  7. Mineral Interactions Also Play A Role in Deficiencies. Calcium - Phosphorus Copper – Sulfur – Molybdenum Copper – Iron Copper - Zinc
