Subject: RE: Mineral Comparison



NE Kansas
Look at the calcium, phosphorous and salt. Those are the macro-minerals that grass and feed grains are short on. The Kent mineral has a lot higher salt content than the others. Salt is going to be the cheapest ingredient for them in this mix, and I bet the price is cheapest of the 3 brands. On the other hand I imagine intake will go up with the extra salt and you'll be buying more bags.

Phosphorous is the most expensive of the macro-minerals and generally the number that I look at first.

Also- On fresh grass a Hi-Magnesium (more than 10% mag) mineral is good to prevent grass tetany. Particularly in cows with calves as they're pushing out a lot of magnesium in the milk.
