The why behind the recommendation series- Trace Minerals

 The importance of trace minerals like Zinc and Manganese is well documented and studied for livestock production. Proper levels of available Zinc in the diet provide increased: •Gastrointestinal health and efficiency •Immune support •Improved reproductive health •Wool and hair growth in ruminants Manganese is essential for: •Musculo-skeletal development •Reproductive health and prolificacy •Growth •Muscle development Not all Zinc and Manganese minerals are created equal. There are many forms of Zinc and Manganese in commercial feeds, but the bioavailability to the ruminant depends on the type and kind. It is well established that chelated trace minerals are more bio available. Pro Tip- Feeding quality show rations that are complete and balanced with the right level and kind of trace minerals will make big differences in growth, muscle development, boot wool, and hair quality. **Sheep and goat feeders, our Jacoby’s Elite show feed system comprised of the Alpha and Omega show feeds contains our proprietary, pelleted, vitamin mineral pack with chelated Zinc and Manganese for maximum performance and increased boot wool and hair growth! It has it all!!
