Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Hartman et al comparing trace mineral (TM) repletion strategies to overcome a high antagonist diet is presented. Seventy-two Red Angus steers were blocked by BW and assigned equally to corn silage-based depletion period diets either supplemented with Cu, Mn, Se, and Zn at NRC recommendations (CON) or supplemented with 0.3% S (CaSO^sub 4^), 5 mg of Mo/kg DM, and no added TM (DEP). Results suggest that regardless of dietary antagonists, ITM rapidly repleted Cu and Se, whereas similar repletion took 28 and 42 d for the BLEND and ING treatments.
