INTRODUCTION Trace mineral elements such as Cu, Cr, and Zn have important roles in the health and immunity of peripartal dairy cows (Spears and Weiss, 2008). Minerals have been commonly supplemented to cattle in the form of inorganic salts, preferably as sulfates; however, the development of organic forms of trace minerals, such as minerals complexed with AA, minimize the risk of mineral antagonism and enhance absorption...

Background A recent study by the SDSU Dairy and Food Science Department investigated the effects of water quality on heifer preference and drinking behavior. Providing good quality water to livestock is a major challenge in the Midwest. Eastern South Dakota groundwater, which is used for drinking, industry, and agricultural purposes is hard, with high mineral content. Calcium and magnesium concentration affects this hardness....

Introduction The transition period is the most-critical phase in the productive life of high-producing dairy cows and it is characterized by decreased liver function and increased inflammation and oxidative stress [1, 2]. Although inflammatory pathways play important roles in normal immune function helping the body adjust to and overcome infection with the purpose of restoring homeostasis, uncontrolled inflammatory...

Many factors contribute to achieving an age at first calving of 24 months for heifers. John Fish from Vitfoss highlights the importance of calf health and mineral nutrition. There’s been much discussion on the topic of the optimal age at first calving (AFC) however numerous studies have shown that targeting an age of 24 months at first calving can be optimal for lifetime...

Costly products are always special for mankind like silver, gold, platinum, diamond and so on. Interestingly, there are still more metals costlier than this. Californium is considered to be the costliest metal which will cost you a Rs. 166 Crore/ gram. But their use for everyday thriving is almost nil. Minerals need not to be costly to give a better health every day. Costly for mankind is the product’s benefits. Minerals are both heroes and villains for a...

One of the main problems faced by cattle raising are metabolic diseases. Many of these diseases are of nutritional origin, besides the stressful effect for animal overexploitation, and the high production requirements that cause that nutritional support is not sufficient. Faced with this problem, a correct formulation of the ration, as well as a supplementation with minerals, vitamins and amino acids becomes essential (McDowell, 1984).

Modern analytical techniques and instrumentation make it possible to accurately determine trace mineral concentration in feed and animal tissues. Unfortunately, however, such determinations provide no information on utilization of the minerals by animals. Utilization involves the concept of bioavailability and is critical in the selection of a suitable source of the mineral. In terms of trace minerals, bioavailability may be defined as the proportion of an ingested mineral that is absorbed,...

Introduction It has been established beyond doubt that micronutrients play important role in livestock production. Mineral supplementation in livestock improves health, enhances growth, reproductive and productive performances. Role of mineral in livestock The minerals have been broadly classified depending upon the concentration in the body and amount required in the diet. The minerals...

The constant search to improve the productive rates of animal species used by man for the production of food has led to the problematic of nutritional needs increase, generating the appearance of metabolic problems due to inefficient rations. These problems arise due to the limitations that many producers face in the fields, both extensive and intensive exploitations. Most important limiting factors in the diet have always been energy and protein;...

Optimal production with healthy animals and high gain involves knowledge of all nutrients used in the herd. Roughage, concentrated feed and grain are tangible and it is possible to receive an analysis or a package leaflet on those. Probably most people see minerals and vitamins in a different light. Of course, there is a tag on the bag, but what does it say and what is the requirements of the animals?

Malnutrition refers to an incorrect use of nutrients and is accepted as one of the major constraints in the production of livestock (Radostis, 2002). Insufficient energy is very often responsible for low production. However, despite a correct energy management has been observed that it can result in deterioration in the production due to vitamin and mineral imbalances (McDowell, 1984).
Among the essential vitamin and mineral...

Introduction This paper will describe how environmental quality is interrelated with feed management and whole farm nutrient management by using the nutrients of N and P to demonstrate the concepts and connections between feed management and whole farm nutrient management. In addition, this paper will focus on aspects of manure management related to the fate and transport of pharmaceuticals to the environment. The intent...

INTRODUCTION Chromium (Cr) has appeared as trace mineral that play a pivotal role in carbohydrate and lipid metabolism, along with protein synthesis, growth and longevity (Mertz, 1993). Furthermore, carcass quality and production is also influenced by stress level of animal during their growth and fattening stages. Since Cr has known to lessen the stress and strengthen the immune response, therefore, appropriate regimen of dietary Cr could be a...
