Abstract

Zinc, copper and manganese are needed for proper production and immune response in the cow/calf herd. A series of experiments were conducted over a period of three years throughout the High Plains region evaluating the role of trace mineral level and source on cow and calf liver trace mineral status, immune response, reproduction parameters and growth.
