The Feed Bin- Season 2, Episode 11: Minerals Matter: Unlocking Optimal Cow Production in Tennessee
The December edition of the Co-op Feed Bin podcast, hosted by John Houston, Director of Business Services for ProTrition Feed, features an in-depth discussion on the importance of cattle mineral supplementation with Jacob Sparkman, Zinpro Southeast Account Manager, and Todd Steen, ProTrition Nutritionist. Proper mineral nutrition is a cornerstone of successful cow production in Tennessee, where variable soil types and forage quality can lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients. Minerals play a vital role in reproduction, immune function, and overall herd health, ensuring optimal performance and profitability for producers. This episode highlights the recent updates to the Co-op cattle mineral line, designed to address these challenges and support the unique needs of cattle in our region.
