Welcome to @MineralsMatter1. Here we hope to discuss all things minerals & how they affect the efficiency and health of your stock.
Our first topic of conversation is going to be surrounding PICA in cattle!
Tune in and join the conversation throughout the coming days and weeks!
In our #MineralsMatter report, we have identified shortages in magnesium, copper, and sodium meaning it will be vital for owners of grazing stock to supplement to ensure their animals remain healthy and happy. #Agriculture
Take a look at our report today: uniblock.ie/research/Grass-A…

Deficiencies in copper, cobalt, and selenium/vitamin E can have a huge impact on performance.
Spot the signs early:
🐮 Are your cattle not meeting growth rates?
🐮 Do you have cattle with grey/brown discoloration of the coat?
🐮 Do you have a number of lame cows?
Supplement!
