Why Trace Elements Are Important for Dairy Calves?
Trace elements—such as copper, selenium, zinc, iodine, cobalt—are essential for the healthy development and performance of dairy calves. Although required in small amounts, their impact on growth, immunity, and overall health is significant. Here’s why they’re crucial:
Immune System Support
Trace elements play a key role in strengthening the immune system. Deficiencies can lead to increased susceptibility to infections, poor vaccine response, and higher mortality rates.
 Growth and Development
Calves need proper levels of trace elements to support bone development, muscle growth, and metabolic function. Inadequate intake can result in stunted growth and delayed maturity.
Fertility and Future Productivity
Early deficiencies in trace elements can impact reproductive development, which in turn affects future fertility and milk production once the calf matures.
 Disease Prevention
Trace elements help in building resistance against diseases such as scours, pneumonia, and other stress-related conditions common in young calves.
