Calcium, phosphorus, and micro minerals supplementation does not affect nutrient intake and digestibility, and performance of Nellore cattle fed different diets

An abstract of a study by Zanetti et al studying the effects of mineral supplementation on nutrient intake and digestibility, and performance of Nellore beef cattle fed with and without calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P) and micromineral supplemental sources during the growing and finishing phases. The absence of inorganic supplemental sources of Ca, P, Cu, Mn, Zn and Co in diets for Nellore beef cattle during both the growing and finishing phases does not affect nutrient intake, digestibility and performance.
