The Relationship Between Physical Activity Level and Bone Mineral Status in Adolescent Males
… between level of physical activity and BMC (bone mineral content) and BMD (bone mineral density). The secondary purpose was to determine if there was an interaction between physical activity and pubertal growth on BMC and BMD in young males. The subjects who participated in this study included 78 …

The effect of boron supplementation and oral contraceptives on mineral status and hormone status of college female athletes and non-atheletes
… month boron supplementation protocol to evaluate mineral and hormone status of athletes and non-athletes. All subjects were classified into activity and oral contraceptive groups as follows: athletes (n=16), non-athletes (n=13), oral contraceptives (n=12), and no oral contraceptives (n=17). …

Effects of feeding lasalocid and monensin upon mineral status of steers, and partial absorption and renal handling of minerals in sheep
… effects of feeding lasalocid and monensin upon mineral status of ruminants, changes in digestive and renal physiology which bring about altered mineral status, and the effects of dietary K upon the actions of ionophores. Two 84-d grazing trials were conducted with steers fed no ionophore, 200 mg …

Effect of application of fluidized bed combustion residue to reclaimed mine pastures on forage yield, composition, animal performance and mineral status
… FBCR- and limestone-amended pastures. Mean serum mineral levels of steers were not affected by pasture treatment. The blood packed cell volume was higher in cattle grazing FBCR-amended pastures. Liver levels of Fe, H, Hi and Na were lower in cattle on pastures amended with FBCR or limestone. Bile …

Effect of land application of fluidized-bed combustion residue on soil and plant characteristics of reclaimed surface-mined pastures, performance and mineral status of grazing steers and nutrient balance by sheep fed the forage
… and lignin increased with both amendments. Serum mineral levels of cattle were normal except Cu was low. Animal tissues reflected differences in mineral concentration observed in forages. Hay harvested from one rep was used in a mineral balance trial with 18 wethers. Apparent digestibility of dry …

Application of yeast technology in ruminant nutrition
… to evaluate performance, and nitrogen and trace mineral status of cows and calves (Exp. 1), then YC was fed as a natural alternative to an ionophore to heavy-weight yearling beef steers fed finishing diets consisting of 19.7% DDGS to evaluate growth performance, carcass merit, cost of gain (COG) …

Trace Element Nutriture of the Chick as Affected by Eimeria Acervulina Infection
… were conducted to investigate the trace mineral status of young chicks as affected by duodenal coccidiosis and by trace mineral intakes ranging from deficient to excess. The trace elements investigated were cobalt, iron, manganese, zinc and copper. Experimental coccidiosis was induced by …

The effects of molybdenum water concentration on feedlot performance, tissue mineral concentration, and carcass quality of feedlot steers
… on performance, carcass characteristics, and mineral status of feedlot steers fed a growing and finishing diet for 151 and 112 d for replicate 1 and replicate 2, respectively. The experimental design was a randomized complete block design. Steers were blocked by weight and then divided into 2 …

Trace mineral supplementation in cattle: Implications in heifer development, reproductive performance, and fetal programming
Minerals play numerous roles in the ruminant animal’s body and are included as components of bone, tissues, body fluids, enzymes, and hormones. Grazing cattle primarily receive trace minerals through forages; however, these sources often do not meet the trace mineral requirements of cattle due to …

Use of Nutrition and Precision Technology to Improve Health, Performance, and Alleviate Stress of Beef Cattle
… cattle: 1) The effect of an injectable multi-mineral complex supplementation for grazing beef cows on overall mineral status, fertility, and subsequent offspring performance. Two doses of the trace mineral injection increased in pregnancy rate after artificial insemination, with a greater …

The effects of boron supplementation on bone mineral density, blood and urinary calcium, magnesium, phosphorous and urinary boron in female athletes
… of boron supplementation on blood and urinary minerals were studied in 17 female college athletes and 11 sedentary college control subjects. The subjects were similar in age (19.8 ± 1.4 and 20.3 ± 1.1 years for athletes and sedentary groups, respectively) and weight (61.8 ± 9.1 and 59.6 ± 10.5 …
