Minerals
This mineral maintains cell shape and plays a major role in cardiac function.
What is Potassium
This condition in animals is characterized by muscle weakness, cardiac rhythm disturbances, pica, diarrhea, and excessive acidification of urine.
What is potassium deficiency?
This water-soluble vitamin neutralizes free radicals, permits the regeneration of vitamin E, and metabolizes iron.
What is Vitamin C
This nutrient is the most important to life, participating in all major physiological functions and regulating body temperature.
What is water?
This condition in cattle can be prevented by promoting calcium mobilization at calving and ensuring the diet is adequate in magnesium.
What is hypocalcemia?
This mineral is a major contributor to the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid and controls blood volume.
What is Sodium?
This condition in animals is characterized by poor growth, epiphysitis, chronic mild lameness, lightening of hair coat, mild anemia, diarrhea, and failure to get pregnant.
What is copper deficiency?
This water-soluble vitamin is a coenzyme in many biochemical reactions and is primarily involved in the synthesis of proteins and production of red blood cells.
What is vitamin B12 or cobalamin?
This mineral is a constituent of hemoglobin and myoglobin and is the most abundant trace mineral.
What is iron?
This condition in animals is characterized by reduced feed intake, growth/lactation issues, polyuria/polydipsia (PU/PD), and decreased production due to sodium deficiency.
What is sodium deficiency?
This mineral is important in the formation of bones and is retained in bones at 99%.
What is calcium?
This condition in animals is characterized by tetany, convulsions, sudden death, wasting, poor growth, and anorexia.
What is magnesium deficiency?
This vitamin is required for the production of blood clotting factors and is mainly stored in the liver.
What is vitamin K?
This mineral facilitates the intestinal absorption of iron and promotes cellular oxidation.
What is copper?
This condition in pigs is characterized by wandering, blindness, deafness, head-pressing, and dog-sitting due to excess salt intake and limited water availability.
What is hypernatremia and CNS disease?
This mineral is intricately related to calcium and is important for healthy bones, cell membranes, and energy dispersal.
What is phosphorus?
This condition in cattle is characterized by reduced food intake, weight loss, rickets/osteomalacia, spontaneous fractures, and pica.
What is phosphorus deficiency
This vitamin is a biological antioxidant and works together with selenium.
What is vitamin E?
This mineral works as an antioxidant and protects cells, especially cardiac and skeletal muscle.
What is selenium?
This condition in animals is characterized by rapid cardiovascular collapse in horses and ruminants, poliomyelomalacia in pigs, loss of hair on mane and tail, hoof deformities, and decreased reproductive performance due to over-supplementation of this mineral.
What is selenium toxicity?
This mineral is a component of bone and intracellular fluids and is important in PTH secretion and activity.
What is magnesium?
This condition in young ruminants and equids is characterized by sudden onset myopathy, stiffness, reluctance to move, and recumbency.
What is selenium deficiency?
This vitamin is essential for vision, reproduction, metabolism, and skin and hair health.
What is vitamin A?
This mineral helps synthesize thyroid hormones and is commonly found in sea salt and fish.
What is iodine?
This condition in cats is characterized by retinal degeneration, dilated cardiomyopathy, and reproductive failure due to a deficiency of this amino acid.
What is taurine deficiency?
