Yes

Shown only as a “what if”. You cannot feed on a dry matter basis. Moisture is real, it exists and is part of the ration.

You cannot remove the moisture nor can the animal except perhaps for math exercises. It is what it is. You bought it on a as fed basis you feed it that way as well.

Nutritional values seldom increase enough to offset additional cost and high moisture

More likely caused by high grain, high energy, high phosphorus diet creating highly aklaline rumen. I've known a couple of old goat men that would have it incorporated into their feed as well but feed also always had an adequate amount of ammonium chloride in it to prevent urinary calculi.

You won’t hear that it works because it’s not approved for treatment of internal parasites. That also the reason feed companies will only claim that it is an anti-caking agent. They do the same for ingredients put in feed to bind aflatoxin. It is approved and is effective for control of insects...

No but crude protein is calculated and disclosed to the buyer “as fed” not with all the moisture removed.

Wh y do you figure it on a dry matter basis?? You’re supplier doesn’t sell it to you that way.

That’s probably why they have him in the office pushing paper
