Phosphorus Utilization in Cattle ProductionRecently, Dr. Jerry Spears from North Carolina was a guest presenter for the Colorado Nutrition Roundtable. Dr. Spears addressed phosphorus utilization in cattle production and provided some very informative data about this essential mineral.

Therefore, the Beef Team is making Dr. Spears’ presentation slides available in the PDF linked below. Click here to download the presentation Beef Briefs:Preventing Grass Tetany in Beef Cows
