What the research shows

  • A South Island dairy cow trial reported higher milk output, improved results for some reproductive measures and better copper and vitamin B12 status when lactating cows on intensive grazing received complexed zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. (DOI: 10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2006.10.006)
  • A meta-analysis across lactating dairy cow studies found that organic trace minerals were linked with increased milk production and selected reproductive responses. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2010-3058)
  • A dairy cow study found that sulphur and molybdenum reduced hepatic copper concentrations, with a larger effect in cows on grass silage-based diets, highlighting the need to account for copper antagonists when setting mineral programmes. (DOI: 10.3168/jds.2016-12217)
Limits

These studies examine trace mineral supplementation, organic and complexed mineral sources, and how sulphur and molybdenum can reduce copper status. They do not test DCM Organic itself.

What was tested

Research on dairy cow trace mineral supplementation, including zinc, manganese, copper, cobalt and selenium, with a focus on organic and complexed mineral sources. Research also assessed how dietary sulphur and molybdenum can interfere with copper status.

Milk production, reproductive measures, fertility outcomes, blood and liver mineral status, hepatic copper reserves, vitamin B12 reserves, feed intake, body condition, somatic cell count and selected performance measures.

  • Effects of feeding organic trace minerals on milk production and reproductive performance in lactating dairy cows: a meta-analysis, Journal of Dairy Science: DOI 10.3168/jds.2010-3058
    PubMed record: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20723697/
  • Added dietary sulfur and molybdenum has a greater influence on hepatic copper concentration, intake and performance in Holstein-Friesian dairy cows offered a grass silage- rather than a corn silage-based diet, Journal of Dairy Science: DOI 10.3168/jds.2016-12217
    PubMed record: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28365110/

The research supports wider dairy cow mineral nutrition principles related to trace mineral source, copper reserves and mineral antagonists, but it should not be presented as a direct product trial for DCM Organic.
