Elemental profile of tail hair to evaluate nutritional status of Angus, Nelore and Wagyu cattle breeds

High performance animals of Angus, Nelore and Wagyu cattle breeds raised in a vertically integrated system were selected for this study. A comprehensive elemental profile of tail hair was obtained by neutron activation analysis and triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, incl...

Description
Summary:High performance animals of Angus, Nelore and Wagyu cattle breeds raised in a vertically integrated system were selected for this study. A comprehensive elemental profile of tail hair was obtained by neutron activation analysis and triple quadrupole inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, including Al, As, Ba, Br, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cs, Cu, Fe, K, La, Na, Mg, Mn, Mo, P, Pb, Rb, Sc, Se, Sr, V and Zn. The results indicated that tail hair can be an useful tool for monitoring nutritional status of beef cattle.
