Show Calves Not Anemlo Among all farm animals, the calf is least susceptible to nutritional anemia. It is born with a four-month four-month supply of copper and iron in its liver, and before it exhausts this supply it is supplementing its milk diet with feeds that contain these minerals. The pig, in contrast, is born with only enough iron to last a week or 10 days, and if it does not have access to soil or receive a mineral supplement by the end of that period, nutritional anemia is almost certain to develop. |
