Do not feed Equi-Min on a free choice basis. Could someone please tell me what they think of this. I'm still trying to find a suitable mineral.
If I am ready this correctly they want you to feed salt seprate ...so no I would not use it . Goats eat there minerals with salt because they need salt not because they are smart enough to know they need minerals too. Can you get sweetlix magnum milk ? They are the best I have in my area. Patty
This is a supplement and not a mineral. We feed our horses a supplement through the winter. We mix salt into it so they don't just stand and eat it. We also don't feed grain to the mares. They are on a supplement with salt and Purina 12-12 horse minerals along with hay. Find a straight mineral, not a supplement. Kaye
Ok, I have tried Co-op, Shur-Gain and Purina. None of them have a mineral with selenium & vitamin E. At Purina they told me that besides the one that I posted about above they have just a selenium & vitamin E mix for horses that I could use to top dress my Oats & BOSS. We sure seem to live in a country that doesn't believe in goats as farm animals. :really My Shur-Gain dealer is really trying to get me sweetlix mineral in but they won't return her calls. She is really trying to help. Wendy
That may be so, but surely there are some cows up there somewhere......Don't give up......there's got to be some minerals up there somewhere.
My mineral now is cow, horse and goat. But I used the plain ole horse Purina loose mineral that I added yeast and kelp to myself for years. Here the Purina Horse minerals contain alot more of everything, being Horse and cattle country, yet just up in Dallas (4 hours north) that Purina mill mixes things differently. So go for a horse or cattle loose mineral and tweak it, rather than trying to find something that aint there and is going to cost you a fortune. Vicki
Vicki, What kind of yeast do I get to add to my mineral? I think I have found a good cattle mineral from Co-op but waiting until Monday to check out Shur-Gain and see what their Purina cattle mineral is like and compare the two. Thank you everyone for their in put. Wendy
I always used Diamond V Yeast the plain and then the XP. But it's sort of like Amway stuff, if you don't have a distributor in your area, it's not something a feed store can just order. There are dozens of brands of nutritional yeasts. I am not talking about bread yeasts or brewers yeasts. But do look up Diamond V and see if it's something you can get up there, even with milking 65 I only went through 2 bags a year. Vicki
