[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 309666, member: 3739"] I think ALL minerals are important in helping processing and utilizing any vitamins that are important to help animals function, and vice versa. Salt, as in NaCl or Calcium salts? If it's NaCl, the Na in that salt compound is important in that it functions in nerve transmission (like message transmissions), and osmotic regulation and acid-base balance. So this would go in hand with Vitamin A's functions: normal maintenance of the eyes, membrane tissue, digestive, respiratory, nerve and bone growth. And of course the chlorine in the NaCl salt compound aids in digestion in the presence of HCl in the stomach, as well as osmotic regulation, and acid-base balance. Calcium salts, or just straight calcium, functions in bone and teeth stucture, as well as muscle contraction, transmission of impulses from nerve to muscle (Sodium does this as well, like I said before), etc. So this type of salt would also aid in vitamin A's functions of normal maintenance of the eyes (optic nerves), and other things. Like I said before, all different minerals and vitamins and nutrients all comingle and coexist to help the body of any animal, including cattle, properly function, utilize, maintain, and process different nutrients. Hope that helps a little. [/QUOTE]
