[QUOTE="cjmc, post: 1454190, member: 27842"] It doesn't enter the rumen, it gets trapped in the reticulum (honey comb structure that allows small particles to enter the rumen, larger ones are "unswallowed" and rechewed) and slow releases form there. The big let down for me is that it is not recommended in areas with high soil antagonists. If it could be used in areas with high molybdenum and other antagonists the product would have real promise for producers that struggles in those areas with lower than ideal conception rates. Price/h/d (if you buy 240 at one time- 120 HD not sale price) $15/cow for 250 days or $0.06/h/d. If i recall fairly cheap compared to loose mineral. But you still have to supply salt to the cows, so that kind of ruins there "you save labor" argument in my opinion and bumps the $/h/d too Seeking opinions on this... Could this product benefit your bulls at turn out? Do you feel your bulls are hitting the mineral feeders consistently or are they too busy doing other "stuff"? [/QUOTE]
