Frequently Asked Questions About Chelation |
Over 50 years of quality
chelated minerals.
Q. What are the effects of mineral deficiencies on animal health? |
|
A.
| Calcium |
Poor bone development, brittle or weak bones, decreased milk production, poor growth rate and impairment of muscle function |
| |
| Phosphorous |
Reduced conception rates, decreased milk production, reduced nutrient efficiency and increased embryonic mortality |
| |
| Magnesium |
Decreased muscle function, poor bone development and metabolic dysfunction such as grass tetany |
| |
| Zinc |
Immune system function, reduced conception rates, increased placental retention and decreased feed utilization |
| |
| Manganese |
Increased abortions, increased calf mortality and weak or deformed legs and joints |
| |
| Copper |
Decreased re-breeding, poor or discolored hair coat, increased calf scours, decreased immune system function and weak or brittle bones |
| |
| Cobalt |
Decreased energy utilization. Cobalt must be in a form that can be utilized in the rumen |
| |
| Iodine |
Decreased nutrient utilization, decreased reproductive efficiency and increased embryonic mortality |
| |
| Selenium |
increased placental retention, impaired immune function, increased calf scours, increased embryonic mortality, reduced conception rate and increased incidence of white muscle disease. |
