The use of adequate, well balanced diets can maximize profits – or minimize losses – in a feeding program. An animal’s diet must contain the essential nutrients in appropriate amounts and ratios.
To help with this, Alberta Agriculture and Forestry has revised its Nutrients for Cattle factsheet. It outlines the nutrients basic to good cattle nutrition and how well Alberta feeds succeed in supplying these nutrients.
Topics covered include digestive systems, energy, proteins, minerals and trace minerals, vitamins, and more.
