Supplemental trace minerals (Cu, Mn, and Zn) as sulfates or hydroxychloride sources for beef heifers

An abstract of a study by Burnett et al determining the effects of mineral source on beef heifer development at 2 locations. Trace mineral source did not affect reproductive performance (P = 0.75). Therefore, supplementing sulfate or hydroxychloride sources of Zn, Mn, and Cu to developing beef heife...

Description
Summary:An abstract of a study by Burnett et al determining the effects of mineral source on beef heifer development at 2 locations. Trace mineral source did not affect reproductive performance (P = 0.75). Therefore, supplementing sulfate or hydroxychloride sources of Zn, Mn, and Cu to developing beef heifers resulted in similar performance.
