An Investigation of Mineral Supplementation of Diet on the Growth and Metabolism of Carp
The importance of trace elements in animal metabolism is becoming more and more evident. Trace elements as nutrients play a valuable role in the body, participating in the formation of such highly active biological materials as enzymes, hormones and vitamins. Many investigations have been published …

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 …

Vitamin and mineral supplementation in athletes, with special reference to the ergogenic effects and possible toxic side-effects
The use of vitamin and mineral supplements as ergogenic aids is widespread amongst both athletes and the general population. Although there appear to be at least some theoretical reasons to suggest that supplementation may enhance athletic performance, there is limited scientific justification for …

Maternal Supplement Use During Pregnancy
… consensus regarding the need for vitamin and mineral supplementation during pregnancy. The composition and use of supplements among pregnant women varies greatly. Toxicity or inadequacy of nutrients could have health effects on the mother and fetus. A recent study reported inadequate …

Protein, Phosphorus, and Energy Utilization in Young Chickens and Pigs as Affected by Microbial Phytase and Nutritionally -Enhanced Corn Hybrids
… Reducing inorganic P and selected trace-mineral supplementation of late-finishing swine diets did not (P > 0.10) adversely affect growth performance and carcass traits, but resulted in depressed (P 0.05) with phytase supplementation. Low-phytate (LP) corn was found to contain two times …

Effects of Stress on Several Immune and Health Responses of Weanling Calves
… increased on d 7 (P<0.0001). Effects of single mineral vs. multi-mineral supplementation were measured for several immune and health responses in 2 trials. Trial 1: 36 heifers weaned on-site at SVAREC were randomly assigned 1 of 2 dietary supplements: 1) no supplement; 2) 15% CP at 0.5% BW; and …

Effects of feeding ractopamine hydrochloride in combination with zinc or chromium on growth performance, carcass characteristics, and meat quality of finishing steers
… Of particular interest in this thesis are trace minerals, specifically zinc (Zn) and chromium (Cr) fed in combination with RAC. Zinc is not only involved in protein synthesis through its integral role in all 3 RNA polymerases (Cousins, 1998), but Harris et al. (2012) reported Zn in combination …
