One of the biggest blind spots in cattle nutrition is bioavailability of trace minerals.
Most operations still formulate based on inclusion rate, not absorbed nutrient.
But the source matters.
Selenium, copper, and zinc sources can differ dramatically in:
• absorption
• tissue transfer and retention
• immune impact
• reproductive outcomes
Two diets can contain the same ppm of selenium and produce very different biological responses.
Nutrition isn't just about how much you feed.
It's about what the animal can actually use.
