Creators

Description

This review deals with several aspects of the phenomenon of soil ingestion in different farm animals. Soil ingestion occurs mainly during grazing, due to inadvertent intake when soil adheres to vegetation, or as active ingestion suggested to be due to lack of essential mineral elements such as copper, cobalt, manganese and iron. Sheep and cattle have been investigated to a much greater extent than horses and pigs
