Abstract
This research project aimed to generate basic data for specifying the trace mineral requirements of Fleckvieh (German Simmental) bulls. Hence, the concentrations of the trace minerals iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), and manganese (Mn) in the empty-body and body tissue fractions of growing Fleckvieh bulls slaughtered at 120-780 kg live weight were determined. Results were used to calculate trace mineral accretion rates. Fe and Zn represented the largest shares in the animals' bodies. The Zn accretion increased, while Mn accretion steadily declined during cattle growth. Fe accretion attained a maximum at 400 kg live weight. Cu accretion declined until 600 kg live weight and then increased slightly afterwards. The provided data may be used to adjust the recommendations with respect to the trace mineral requirements of growing Fleckvieh bulls.
期刊介绍：
Archives Animal Breeding is an open-access journal publishing original research papers, short communications, brief reports, and reviews by international researchers on scientific progress in farm-animal biology. The journal includes publications in quantitative and molecular genetics, genetic diversity, animal husbandry and welfare, physiology, and reproduction of livestock. It addresses researchers, teachers, stakeholders of academic and educational institutions, as well as industrial and governmental organizations in the field of animal production.
