The macromineral status of pregnant-lactating ewes, lambs, and yearlings on three farms in the Paramo region of the Cordillera Oriental in Colombia was studied. Soil, forage, blood and rib bones were sampled during the end of the rainy season (May–June, 1987) and the middle to end of the following dry season (February, 1988). Season affected (P 0.50) for both seasons. From these analyses it was concluded that the macromineral status of sheep in the Paramo needs supplementation with common salt, Ca, P and Mg. |
