Manganese Deficiency

Manganese is required for normal reproduction, bone structure and CNS function. Its highest concentration is found in bone, liver, kidney, pancreas, and pituitary gland. Its deficiency is associated with poor reproductive system, reduced production and skeletal abnormality in calf.

Treatment:
4 g MnSO₄ in large animals orally, 1 g to calves, 2 g to heifer. MnO is used but sulphate is better due to its availability.
