Abstract

Factors to be considered in implementing a programme for the prevention and treatment of trace element deficiencies in livestock are outlined. These are species, age, dietary requirements, seasonal patterns in the deficiency, the pharmacology of the therapeutic agent, its mode of administration and cost. Specific treatment of cobalt, selenium and copper deficiency is discussed.
