According to their own needs, cattle and sheep can lick freely and increase the required trace elements. At the same time, magnesium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, zinc, selenium, sodium, copper and other elements interact and participate in the metabolism of the body. Therefore, it has a great effect and influence on the health, weight gain, milk production, reproduction and other aspects, and finally brings breeding benefits.

The feeding method of cattle is different from that of pigs and chickens, and minerals are usually supplemented in the following ways:

Supplementary feeding with mixed concentrate

Cattle fattening generally need to supplement the mixed concentrate, and mineral elements are supplemented with the mixed concentrate, which is easy to use. In doing so, special attention should be paid to mixing evenly, especially for those elements with a narrow range of safe and toxic amounts, such as selenium, so as not to adversely affect cattle and sheep due to excessive mineral elements. However, this method is generally not used for cattle that graze and are rarely supplemented with concentrate.

Separately formulated

The premix of constant elements and trace elements allows cattle to be licked freely according to their own needs. The disadvantage of this method is that it is inconvenient to use, and in addition, the waste will be large.
