Decent Mineral Mix 16/8 (2:1 ratio)

[Dave-Trinity-Farms]

Unless you have a loose mineral mix custom made, its pretty much impossible to find a mix that is worth buying. What makes the hunt so difficult is to find a mix that has the right levels for goats and made from the right base minerals. Cheap is usually the key with most mixes. And you get what you pay for. Most mixes have sulfate and oxide based minerals. These are the cheapest forums and also the least effective. Neither of these bases has the carrier molecule that allows the body to absorb the mineral. So most just pass through the system. Our mineral mix was a premix. Meaning that it was suppose to be mixed with salt but we feed it straight. And even at concentrated levels in the mix, our blood analysis on our goats showed very low levels in 3 of the 4 main minerals goats need. That is because it was strictly a sulfate / oxide based mix. This is why we now do bi annually multimin 90 injections.

But the other day Nebs was asking about a mineral mix he found and I didnt like so I told him Id look around. And I happened upon a decent mix. It offers decent levels of everything with 2 different bases for some of the minerals. Id still suggest supplementing with copper bolus and bo-se shots OR the multimin 90. But I like this mix and we will be using it now as well to back up the mm90 shot. Here are some links. Its a payback product. Just thought Id post this in case anyone is still looking for a decent loose mineral.
