Herd Wellbeing Assessment
It's vital to know the supplement requirements of the herd. This can make sure they are fed what they need when they need it. First pack health & history needs to be considered, looking at calving, fertility, lameness, mastitis, cell count, etc.
It is suggested to conduct Blood and Milk mineral profiles, where macro and micro-nutrients levels are validated by spectrometer within an independent lab. Liver Biopsies may also be accomplished by a certified vet to establish current mineral amounts. Minerals encouraged to be examined are: Copper, Calcium, Selenium, Phosphorus, Zinc, Iodine Molybdenum, Magnesium and Cobalt.
Veterinarian & nutritionist input could also help to create a real image of the concerns and position of the pack when it comes to minerals.
