Short summary
The concentrations of the trace minerals iron, zinc, copper, and manganese in the empty-body and body tissue fractions of growing Fleckvieh (German Simmental) bulls slaughtered at 120–780 kg live weight were determined. Results were used to calculate trace mineral accretion rates in bulls from 100 to 800 kg live weight. Accretion rates changed during growth and were not affected by high-concentrate feeding. Provided data may be used to calculate net trace mineral requirements of growing bulls.
