Simulated Zinc Copper Manganese Requirements for Bovine Life Stages

Four datasets contain simulated records for mineral requirements in different bovine groups. Each dataset holds 5,000 individual records for growing heifers, pregnant nulliparous cows, pregnant parous cows, and lactating cows. The data was created by Jean-Baptiste Daniel and published on figshare in April 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling net zinc requirements for lactating cows using simulated physiological parameters.
• Analyzing copper requirement boundaries across life stages like pregnant nulliparous and parous cows.
• Simulating interactions between native dietary manganese occurrence and supplemental guidelines for growing heifers.
• Training regression models to predict mineral needs from simulated records of bovine groups.

Strengths

• 20,000 total simulated records across four distinct bovine life stages.
• Data integrates three specific trace minerals: zinc, copper, and manganese.
• Published under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Data is entirely simulated, not derived from empirical measurements or field trials.
• The 1.2 MB file size indicates a small-scale, parameterized simulation.
• Unknown specific columns and features limit immediate analytical application.
