Analysis
Magnesium plays an important role in many functions including the chlorophyll molecule responsible for photosynthesis and the prevention of hypomagnesaemia (grass staggers). Cobalt is vital for the formation of vitamin B12 in stock which is necessary to avoid ill thrift and resulting remedial B12 injections. Additional trace elements in the Serpentine also add value to your stock’s health and improve the productivity of your soil.
Other trace elements
