1ITM: Injectable trace mineral treatment supplemented inorganic forms of trace minerals at 100% of concentrations recommended by NASEM (2016).

2BLEND: Trace minerals supplemented at 150% of concentrations recommended by NASEM (2016) from 25% organic and 75% inorganic sources.

3ING: Trace minerals supplemented at 150% of concentrations recommended by NASEM (2016) from entirely inorganic sources.

4Control diet contained no supplemental Mo or S.

5Antagonist diet provided supplemental dietary minerals: 2 mg Mo/kg DM, and 0.3% S as CaSO4.

6Cobalt supplemented as Co carbonate.

7Iodine supplemented as ethylenediamine dihydroiodide.
