Minerals essential for animal life include common salt (sodium chloride), calcium, phosphorus, sulfur, potassium, magnesium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, iodine, zinc, molybdenum, and selenium.
Mineral imbalances can significantly impact the health, fertility, and productivity of cattle, sheep, and horses. Farmlab’s Mineral Profile Test evaluates the levels of key minerals such as calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, copper, Iodine, Zinc and selenium in blood samples, providing critical insights into your animals’ nutritional status.
Regular mineral testing helps farmers adjust feed rations to correct deficiencies or imbalances, ensuring that livestock receive optimal nutrition. This proactive approach supports overall health, growth, and reproductive performance, enhancing the productivity of your herd or flock.
