Supplementing Cobalt in diets of ruminants could therefore help to supplement vitamin B12 needed for optimal microbial activities and subsequent breakdown of fibrous feeds. Cobalt supplementation could therefore help prevent growth retardation, weakness, emaciation and other abnormal situations experienced by young and adult ruminants in semi-arid environment.…mehr
