Vitamin and mineral additives for sheep and cattle in drought

primefact cover
Primefact Number: 294    Edition: First edition    Released/reviewed: 01 Nov 2006

Generally, only two minerals, calcium and sodium, are needed as additional supplements during drought feeding of sheep and cattle. Deficiency in other minerals is unlikely as a result of drought feeding. The most likely vitamin deficiencies as a result of drought feeding will be in vitamins A and E.

This Primefact discusses the above supplements and how they should be used to maintain herd health whilst drought feeding.
