DSD 2.8 | Consider Cobalt

Essential trace elements are “essential” because the diet is the only source. However, sometimes because they are trace, we tend to forget about the importance.

Listen in this month to learn from Dr. David Casper about the importance of cobalt in energy metabolism of your lactating herd. This specific research project is discussing the difference between sources of cobalt, carbonate vs lactate.  

The title of the @JournalofDairyScience: Supplementing additional cobalt as cobalt lactate in a high forage total mixed ration fed to late lactation dairy cows, is currently in press in volume 104.
