Mineral feeding refers to the practice of providing essential minerals to livestock and crops to promote health and growth. Minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium play crucial roles in various biological functions, including bone development and metabolic processes. Proper mineral supplementation can help prevent deficiencies that may lead to health issues in animals and reduced yields in plants. In agriculture, mineral feeding can be achieved through mineral blocks, powders, or specialized feeds. Farmers often analyze soil and animal health to determine the specific mineral needs, ensuring that both livestock and crops receive the necessary nutrients for optimal performance and productivity.
