Because so many minerals affect one another and because they affect some of the same bodily functions, mineral deficiencies cannot be diagnosed by symptoms.

Copper deficiency

Animals with copper deficiency do not grow as well as if they have adequate copper levels.

They have decreased immune function, therefore more sickness.

Haircoat color and condition is not a reliable indicator of copper problems.

Typical symptoms include:

Selenium deficiency

Selenium deficiencies affect the same body functions as selenium toxosis. Selenium in either excess or deficiency typically interferes with metabolic copper and zinc usage. Most commonly symptoms may include:

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin acquired by intake of green grass. It can be stockpiled in the body five to seven months. To some degree, it can be obtained from hay that was put up such that a green color is obvious.

It is an antioxidant that directly interacts with selenium proteins that also are antioxidants. Therefore symptoms are the same as for selenium deficiencies.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A also is a fat-soluble vitamin acquired by intake of green grass. It can be stockpiled in the body for a lesser amount of time than vitamin E. It is vital in the cellular function of the digestive tract, so without it you get resulting digestive disorders.
