Many of the essential nutrients for swine and cattle are natural constituents of the diet or are synthesized in the gastro-intestinal tract. However, some of the essential nutrients need to be provided as supplements to the available feed or forage. Cattle in Florida should be provided supplemental calcium, phosphorus, copper, iron, cobalt, trace mineralized salt, and Vitamin A. Currently available infor- mation does not indicate a need for a supplemental source of other minerals and vitamins for cattle in this state. Swine should be provided supplemental calcium, phosphorus, trace mineralized-iodized salt, manganese, zinc, copper, iron, niacin, ribo- flavin, pantothenic acid, vitamin B, vitamins A and D, and possibly choline (if a heavy corn ration is uilized) and possibly pteroylgutamie acid. Other minerals and vitamins are usually furnished by feeds or synthesized by the animal.
