American Bison

<< 11/12 < > To insure proper development, buffalo need salt and other minerals in their diet. Many of these are supplied in their forage, but on pasture soil deficient in essential minerals the forage likewise will be lacking in them. These deficiencies can be relieved by supplemental mineral compounds that are prepared for cattle. The salt requirement varies with the composition of the forage consumed, but generally buffalo will use as much salt as cattle. Credits: U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service Creator: Schwartz, John
