A sheep group given a cattle mineral mixture

A mixed farm has recently started using one mineral mixture for all livestock because the packaging lists several familiar nutrients. Some sheep are now unwell, while cattle sharing part of the feeding system appear unaffected. The owner assumes that a product tolerated by cattle must also be suitable for sheep and proposes adding another supplement as a diagnostic trial. The veterinarian needs the actual product, intake, duration, species, clinical findings and appropriate laboratory evidence. Other causes still require consideration, and the absence of visible illness in another species does not establish safety. The plan must protect affected animals and investigate the feed system without turning a suspicion into an unsupported antidote or dosing instruction.
