Medical - Zoology | | English term or phrase: trace mineral | PT-BR
In an article about horses and how lower or higher temperature may affect their bodies and play a big part in calories intake.
"I suggest using a calcium-phosphorus-trace mineral-salt mixture and adding approximately 4 ounces per day to the grain mix or for horses maintained on pasture keeping this product available free choice year-round." |

Micromineral
Microminerals (also known as trace elements) are micronutrients that are chemical elements. They include boron, chromium, cobalt, copper, fluorine, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, silicon, tin, vanadium, and zinc. They are dietary minerals needed by the human body in very small quantities (generally less than 100mg per day) as opposed to macrominerals which are required in larger quantities. Note that the use of the term "mineral" in this context is to be distinguished from the definition commonly used in the geological sciences. |

| Grading comment Thanks, Luís! Next time I'll definitely use the "definition:" option offered by Google. It does offer great explanations that can really help translators when deciding on the most suitable word to use.
