Minerals Help
Cattle on Pasture
This message brought to you

District Co -Operative
When you put your beef
or dairy cattle out to
pasture this spring, remember
to maintain adequate
levels of calcium and
phosphorus in their diets.
Lush pastures won't supply
enough, and grain won't
be sufficient to supply
their needs, particularly
for beef cattle that are
not fed balanced grain
rations.
These two minerals are
important CO cattle for
growth, maintenance of
health, and normal
reproduction. An im-
balance of one to the
other can cause all kinds
of troubles. (Best ratio
is 2:1 or 1:1 of calcium to
phosphorus). For example
too little phosphorus
lowers milk production.

his finger to plug a hole in the dyke, taken

Too much calcium in
relation to phosphorus has
the same result.
In a diet that is adequate
in phosphorus, excessive
calcium can form chemical
complexes with phosphorus
in the cow's body that
prevent phosphorus from
beingabsorbed by the
cow's system. So the
cow's system compensates
by using the phosphorus
from its bone salt storage.
In this situation the
animal will excrete
calcium at a faster rate
than it can be aeplaced,
causing low blood
calcium levels. Re-
searchers believe that
this metabolic process,
excessive calcium and
a deficiency of phosphorus
are likely factors causing
milk fever.
It is also known that too
little phosphorus affects
the reproductive system
and lowers the conception
rate of the cow.
Roughages, either as dry
hay or as pasture, are
low in phosphorus.
