Class 6: Mineral Supplements

  • Generally, Minerals are classified into Macro and Micronutrients:
  • Macro elements include Ca, P. Mg, K, Na, Cl, and S, and Micro elements include Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn, Co, Se, I, and Mo.
  • They both promote bone growth and contribute to the enzymatic function of cell membranes.
  • In cattle, Calcium plays a role in milk production which determines the productivity of the animal.
  • Most importantly, they have a role that these elements play in the immune system.
