Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station3
Abstract
Several typical cattle feeds used in North Central Kansas were analyzed for mineral content and the results tabulated. Data are presented for the following constituents of the same feeds: sodium, potassium, chlorine, calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, copper, cobalt, manganese, molybdenum and soluble sulfates. Based on requirements given in the recent literature, typical beef cattle rations composed of the feeds analyzed would not be deficient in copper, manganese, or cobalt, and molybdenum would not be present at toxic levels.
