Abstract
Evaluation of Salt, Trace Mineral Sources, and Growth Implants on Performance of Stocker Cattle Grazing Native Flint Hills Pasture
Highlights
Graber et al (1985) studied mineral supplementation with stockers grazing Flint Hills native grass pastures and concluded that improvements in performance may or may not occur when investing in this management practice
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy of providing salt alone or with injectable trace minerals compared to a complete mineral supplement and growth implants for improving the growth of stocker calves grazing native grass pastures in the Flint Hills region of Kansas
There were no statistical interactions; only the main effects of mineral supplementation and implant are presented in Tables 2 and 3, respectively
Summary
Graber et al (1985) studied mineral supplementation with stockers grazing Flint Hills native grass pastures and concluded that improvements in performance may or may not occur when investing in this management practice. Evaluation of Salt, Trace Mineral Sources, and Growth Implants on Performance of Stocker Cattle Grazing Native Flint Hills Pasture While most stocker operations today utilize some source of complete mineral, some producers use only salt while their calves are on pasture.
