How to supplement mineral elements to cattle and sheep

① is supplemented with mixed concentrate, which is the main form of mineral elements in cattle and sheep. The fattening of cattle and sheep generally needs to be supplemented with mixed concentrate, and the mineral elements are fed together with the mixed concentrate, which is convenient to use, but attention should be paid to mixing evenly, especially for those elements with a narrow range of safe and toxic amounts, such as selene. it will not adversely affect cattle and sheep due to excessive intake of mineral elements. However, this method is not generally used for cattle and sheep which are usually grazed and rarely replenished with concentrate.

② separately prepares the premix of major elements and trace elements to allow cattle and sheep to lick freely according to their own needs. The disadvantage of this method is that it is not convenient to use, and it will be wasteful.

③ is made into licking bricks for cattle and sheep to lick. Licking brick is a block product with certain strength after fully mixing all kinds of mineral elements necessary for livestock, including salt, after being pressed under high pressure according to the formula of nutritionists. Livestock can lick these lump products at will according to their own needs, which is very convenient and safe to use. For cattle and sheep which are mainly grazing and rarely supplemented with mixed concentrate, this is a good way to supplement mineral elements.
