Mineral elements play an important physiological role in almost all life activities of livestock and poultry, such as growth and development, metabolism, nerve activity, immune function, endocrine, etc. They are divided into major elements such as calcium, phosphorus, sodium and magnesium, and trace elements such as iron, manganese, cobalt and copper. Inadequate intake or excessive accumulation of certain mineral elements in the body and imbalance between mineral elements will cause serious consequences. With the intensive and large?scale development of livestock and poultry breeding industry, the consumption of mineral elements for feeding has increased rapidly, but there are some unreasonable uses, resulting in waste of resources and environmental pollution. Therefore, on the premise of meeting the nutritional requirements of livestock and poultry, rational use of mineral element dosage forms and dosage to reduce the emission of mineral elements into the environment through livestock and poultry manure is not only beneficial to the development of intensive livestock and poultry breeding, but also can effectively reduce the heavy metal content in livestock and poultry manure, provide excellent organic fertilizer sources for planting industry, maintain the balance of ecosystem and promote the sustainable and healthy development of planting and breeding industry. Based on this, taking calcium and phosphorus, which are major elements with the highest content in livestock and poultry, and trace elements as the breakthrough point, the application status of feeding mineral elements, basic requirements and appropriate adding range of mineral elements of livestock and poultry were introduced, the development and application progress of new feeding trace elements was emphatically summarized, and the feasibility and effectiveness of dynamic feeding mode of mineral elements was discussed, in order to provide reference for rational utilization of mineral elements resources and further solving environmental pollution caused by livestock and poultry mineral elements in global ecological agriculture research.
