Minerales en la Nutrición Animal en la América Latina by Alba, Jorge de, Davis, George K.

“…From forage analysis as well as empirical knowledge and personal reports, it bas been possible to try to define the phosphorus deficient areas which are very extensive in Latin America, specially in areas of natural grasslands A copper deficient area is likely to extend over a wide area of the Peruvian Andes, but its limits are very hard to define at present Cobalt is definitely deficient in Central Brasil, but again the limits of this area are in doubt A very bigh inon content is reported from forages of Uruguay and Paraguay, and it is possible that all these areas may also be deficient in phosphorus. …”
