Minerals for cows are obtained from different rock or minerals sources that are crushed to very fine particles that can be easily consumed and used by the animal. Minerals are basically the some of the elements in the Periodic Table that are needed by the animal for various bodily functions, primarily zinc, iodine, cobalt, selenium, molybdenum, sulphur, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, copper, phosphorus, and manganese. Many soils are deficient or excessive in certain elements, and the minerals supplied give the cows what they need that the plants they eat--which gather a lot of nutrients from the soil--are lacking.
