Cobalt is an essential trace mineral for dairy and beef cattle, playing a key role in vitamin B12 production and energy metabolism. Adequate cobalt levels support rumen function, improve appetite, and help maximise feed efficiency, fertility, and overall animal performance. In grazing systems, particularly on Irish farms where cobalt deficiency can be common, targeted supplementation is critical. Terra NutriTECH’s precision mineral dosing systems ensure consistent cobalt delivery, helping farmers maintain healthy, thriving herds with improved productivity.
