This is a data survey from the main commercial mineral supplements for dairy and beef cattle currently available in the Brazilian market. 307 products have been listed, from eight of the leading companies operating in Brazil. The products have been listed in six categories: ready-to-use for beef cattle ; ready-to-use for dairy cattle ; units to produce beef cattle concentrate ; units to produce dairy cattle concentrate ; premix , which must be added to NaCl; and protein salts n order to evaluate their minerals, vitamins, ionophores, yeast, urea and crude protein composition, and compare the mineral levels with the Brazilian legislation (IN12, 2004). The ready to use products do not fulfill the legal specifications for phosphorus level in all products. The same happens in some "premix" products in 1:1 dilution with NaCl, when indicated for dairy cattle. This mineral level is 64.9 % higher in products to produce dairy cattle concentrate , when compared with the same kind of products for beef cattle. The P average for protein salts category is 28.5 g/kg and in order to meet the legal specifications, the ingestion must be considered. When it comes to micro minerals the premix category does not comply with the specifications in Cu , Mn , Zn and Se in 1:1 dilution for dairy cattle. The ready to use category meets all minerals specifications for dairy cattle but it does not for beef cattle, only part of the mineral range. Dairy cattle products to produce concentrate have higher viimicrominerals levels than those used for beef cattle, and the protein salts have lower levels compensated by higher ingestion. The legislation does not detail all animal categories. This fact is associated with some other factors as the large territory and massive herd make the Brazilian market gather around the conditions to group an extensive range of products. Therefore, the current legislation itself is not able to mold products for each mineral supplements situation that can occur in all Brazilian production systems.
