Body
The health of animals grazing on pastures is affected by the mineral content of fodder plants. The mineral content of any pasture species may vary within very wide limits and is profoundly influenced by fertilisation. Some of the known facts about animal health in relation to the supply of mineral nutrients in pasture dry matter are presented, together with a discussion of how the uptake of minerals by animals may be influenced by the fertilization of pastures.
