Four Minerals Most Needed As Supplement Dairy Diet
Virginia dairy authorities report four minerals are major concerns in dairy rations calcium phosphorus sodium and chlorine. Sodium and chlorine from salt are commonly lacking. adding salt at 1 percent of concentrate and free access helps. Calcium and phosphorus come mainly from forage and concentrates, with legume forage supplying calcium. phosphorus is often deficient in forages and soils. Dr Hardison recommends free choice minerals rather than blanket fortification and notes limited benefit from widespread trace mineral supplements.
