Abstract

Despite the fact that minerals make up a lower percentage of the diet of ruminants, minerals are of special importance in animal nutrition due to their various structural, physiological, catalytic, and regulatory roles in the body. Mineral deficiencies have negative effects on animals’ body metabolism which leads to metabolic diseases, immune system defects, reduction in their growth and reproduction that reduces productivity in animal husbandry. These deficiencies are classified into two types: primary and secondary, based on how they occur; deficiencies of the primary type of mineral are caused by the consumption of feeds that naturally contain a small amount of one or more mineral and the Secondary type deficiencies are caused by the consumption of one or more mineral antagonists that disrupt the natural metabolism of other minerals. In general, the main reasons for the occurrence of mineral element deficiencies in ruminants are the low quality of feed in terms of mineral elements, the increase in the livestock’s need for these elements during the growth period, pregnancy, lactation, and insufficient feed ration to meet these needs and the antagonistic interactions of these elements which prevent the absorption of each other. In this study, the factors that cause a mineral deficiency in ruminants have been investigated.
