Zinc, copper and manganese are essential nutrients in farm animals nutrition and must be provided by feed rations. Trace mineral deficiencies adversely affect growth performance and health status. Formerly microelements deficiencies were a relevant issue in livestock farming. Nowadays, researchers...
The importance, metabolism, toxicity, absorption, and the appropriate source of copper as feed ingredient in ruminants are discussed.
Failure of pregnancy in ruminants is a substantial source of economic loss around the world. A small number of abortions should be expected even in a healthy herd or flock. Identification of the cause can be challenging and often requires extensive laboratory diagnostic support. Success requires an ...
Studies of the normal skull anatomy of the Patagonian Huemul deer are scarce. Currently, the findings of bone lesions in the skull associated with metabolic imbalances are frequent in the literature. The objective of this study was to provide anatomical and morphometric data of the cranium and...
Hypomagnesaemia (grass tetany) is a metabolic disorder of ruminants due to a reduced dietary intake of magnesium (primary deficiency), incorrect digestibility or associated metabolic factors reducing Mg intake (secondary deficiency). Grass tetany is a production disease responsible for important...
This chapter describes the effects of mineral intake; the mineral balance and status in the blood, tissues and excreta; mineral supplementation and the effects on milk and egg production and quality; the biochemical, genomic and proteomic markers of mineral deficiencies and excesses and correction...
