Minerals
Montana's Supply and Needs
BY LARRY GILL

ANIMALS ON THE farm and on
the range seem to be getting the
equivalent of the human vitamin
pill in sacks marked Feeds for Live
stock" these days.
And they are not getting just the
A, B and C of the family; they are
also getting from one to a half
dozen or more of the minerals which
nature, in some localities, is a bit
short on in the grass and concen
trates making up the bulk of the diet
of livestock.
1t is an old story by now that not
only humans but animals require
some Is mineral elements to sustain
life. These Is elements run the gamut
from iron to fluorine. Salt is one
of these elements and we, of course,
know and appreciate the value of
this one substance alone. We know
also of the value of iodine in pre-
venting hairless pigs and goiter.
Other trace elements may be just
as economically important to the
livestock feeder or breeder but the
lack of them might not show up
quite SO dramatically as with a litter
of hairless pigs or a big-necked calf.
Cobalt an Appetizer
Cobalt, for instance, is am zap
~petizer." Without it your COWS may
be knee-deep in grass and still not
"slick up" and smooth out as they
should. Lack of copper and iron is
likely to cause anemia. The hog
raiser of Montana may have seen
cases of this condition, especially
in sucking pigs that look healthy
and fat, yet die by the dozen.
Manganese, another of the ele-

ments, is necessary in reproduction
and in milk production. Calcium is
the bone builder.
Back in the days when every steer
and every shoat was running on
virgin land, the mineral supply was
no problem. The minerals and vita
minis were in the soil and were
passed on to livestock through grain
and grass. Not SO now. Intensive,
year after year cropping and forced
feeding of steers, dairy cattle, hogs
and sheep tend to use up much of
some of the minerals in the soil.
And, to make matters worse, forced
feeding has increased the need for
them.
Value Based on Need
The value of a mineral is in direct
proportion to its need. If you have
plenty of calcium in your home
grown feeds, the addition of it to a
commercial feed or mineral mixture
will add exactly nothing to your
ration.
Lack of this or other minerals may
not show up clearly either. 1t might
be a failure to get your cows settled
in calf, low rate of gain, poor bone
growth or susceptibility to disease.
Most investigators in Montana have
found salt an almost universal need
Except where there are natural salt
licks), that iodine was necessary in
much of the state, more in some
parts than in others, that phosphorus
was another element sadly lacking.
Bonemeal has generally been rec
commended to correct the deficiency
of the latter mineral, though of late
year defluorinated phosphate has
