Effects of psychoactive trace minerals on glial cell development in vitro.
Trace minerals are a group of nutritional elements appearing in low concentrations in body tissues. These minerals may have both regulatory and structural functions in the body, and therefore play an important role in human health and well being. Many of these elements have psychiatric actions, …

Effects of maternal supplementation of trace minerals and fatty acids on beef progeny
… on offspring postnatal growth performance. Trace minerals play very important roles in nutrition and regulate many of the critical biological processes. Additionally, with a critical role in protein and lipid metabolism, essential fatty acids can influence the development of muscle and …

An in vitro assessment of the effects of feed-grade trace minerals on commercial phytase activity
… of phytate-bound phosphorus. Inorganic trace minerals (ITM) routinely added to feed can negatively impact phytase activity. Recent research has shown that replacement of ITMs with organic trace minerals (OTMs) may overcome these inhibitory effects due to their greater levels of …

Effects of hydroxy versus sulfate forms of trace minerals in milk replacer or starter on dairy calves through weaning
… ultimately raise the cost to rear these animals. Trace minerals (TM) have been supplemented in diets to allow for optimal intake, growth, and immunity if and when a response to a stressor is needed. Traditionally TM are supplemented in the form of either inorganic salts, such as oxides or …

Effect of source of trace minerals and plane of nutrition on growth and health performance and hoof development of transported dairy calves
… the effects of enhanced feeding programs and trace minerals source early in life on growth and health of transported calves, and 2) to quantify the effect of early nutrition programs and trace minerals source on hoof tissue development in young transported calves. Ninety Holstein bull calves …

Effects of Source and Level of Trace Minerals on Performance, Mineral Excretion, Intestine and Bone Development, and Immune Response in Commercial Turkeys
To compare the effect of a standard commercial trace mineral dietary program to low levels of organic minerals on turkey performance, mineral excretion, bone strength, and carcass yield, day-old Hybrid poults (n=1,224) were randomly distributed to one of four treatments with 9 replicates. …

Supplementation of chelated Zn Cu and Mn in broiler diets to improve performance skin integrity and the incidence and severity of footpad dermatitis
Over supplementation of inorganic trace minerals is common practice in the poultry industry which often results in poor bioavailability and low body retention. This can lead to more than 90% of the dietary trace minerals being excreted. The trace minerals Cu, Mn and Zn have been shown to contribute …

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 …

The Relationship Between Thyroid Hormones and Essential minerals by Hair Mineral Analysis.
… attempted to examine the correlation between the trace minerals in the body and thyroid hormones using a hair mineral analysis. METHODS: This study was conducted in 336 adult patients who visited a health promotion center of a university hospital in Kyounggi Province, Korea between 2003 and 2006. …

Evaluation of ProPath for control of liver abscesses, pulmonary lesions, and heat stress of feedlot beef cattle managed under a natural feeding protocol
… were used to evaluate the efficacy of a novel trace mineral source for control of liver abscesses, heat stress, and lung lesions in a feedlot setting. Arrival date and sex were used as blocking factors for a randomized complete block experiment design, with a total of 11 blocks of steers 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 …

Mechanisms of nutrient limitation and nutrient acquisition in managed and unmanaged forest ecosystems
… which trees access limiting nutrients in primary minerals such as apatite. I conducted a greenhouse and field study examining the potential for lead isotope ratios and rare earth elements to serve as tracers of apatite weathering by mycorrhizal fungi in soils. In the greenhouse experiment, both of …

Serum micronutrient concentrations in western Canadian beef cattle at pre-breeding and pregnancy testing
This thesis described the results of two studies that measured the concentrations of serum micronutrients in western Canadian beef cows at key production points, and examined associations between reproductive outcomes and micronutrient concentrations. The first study reported the serum copper and …

Health Surveillance of Thinhorn Sheep (Ovis dalli) Herds in British Columbia and Alaska
… considered deficient for domestic sheep. Other trace minerals, including zinc and selenium, were deficient only in some study areas. Body condition of hunter-harvested rams decreased annually from 2016 to 2018. Our findings confirm that thinhorn sheep, in general, are relatively naïve, and in …
