Copper, Cobalt and Selenium/Vitamin E, are considered important trace elements for cattle impacting on overall performance. Cobalt deficiency begins with a poor appetite, reduced growth and anemia develop over weeks/months. The skin becomes thin with poor hair quality.

Copper deficiency is usually seen in young animals at pasture and can result in poor growth rates. De-pigmentation classically occurs as grey/brown discoloration of the coat especially around the ear margins and eyes. Copper deficiency has also been associated with reduced fertility.

Both selenium and Vitamin E complement each other but both have equal independent roles to protect cells against damage. The skeletal, cardiac and respiratory muscles are the most susceptible to damage. A delayed form Selenium/Vitamin E deficiency can also be seen in calves between the ages of one and four months-old.
