The optimum value of trace minerals is how well they can serve their biological function in an animal’s body. For trace minerals to keep an animal in good health and performing to their genetic potential, they have to be available for absorption in the small intestines. There are a multitude of compounds and factors that will interact with individual trace minerals that have the potential to re...

More than 30 mineral elements have been found with different key functions in helping plants and animals to survive and live healthy. As a direct result, they have always attracted the attention of scientists. The quest is to find some efficient analytical and quantitative procedures in this study to determine some mineral and trace elements of Iranian Crocus sativus L. corms. Several studies h...

Pasture forage is the most significant contributor to the trace mineral nutrition of grazing beef cattle. Mineral supplementation in beef cattle can be divided into two broad categories, macro-minerals and micro-minerals. These categories are based on the amount of mineral required in the cow’s diet. As a rule of thumb, micro-minerals are required in amounts less than 1 gram per day compared to...

Introduction: Decreased oral intake or impaired function / structure in the gut, such as hypertension port associated with atrophic changes in the protein nutrition - calories can lead to micronutrient deficiencies.This paper examines the status of micronutrients in chronic liver disease in children.   Materials and Methods: In this review study databases including proquest, pubmedcentral, scin...

Trace minerals have long been identified as essential dietary components for domestic livestock species. Included in the category of essential trace minerals (or microminerals) are chromium, cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, and zinc. Numerous biochemical reactions require trace minerals for proper function. It has been well documented that deficiencies of v...
