According to the 1996 Beef Cattle NRC, there are at least 17 minerals considered essential for beef cattle (Table 1). Cattle failing to receive some minimum level of these minerals in the diet may exhibit problems of health, productivity, or reproduction. Minerals may be further classified by the amount needed in the diet (Table 1). Macrominerals are required in relatively large amounts; microminerals are just as essential but required in the diet in only small or trace amounts.
