Cost of in feed Vit to spiral

[llamedos]

I agree but surely, if it comes to it, a feed without vits and mins is better than no feed?

I do wonder about claimed vit levels in feeds, so many variables in the manufacture of pelleted feeds which could impact end levels, add to that storage on farm.

I did spread some over 20 years ago for a customer but I’ve not seen any since.

I remember we spread some a long time ago but remember it being expensive....only did it one year.....just bolus everything now

I saved a customer £131 through doing forage analysis a week ago. Very important to get supplementation right! Over supplementation will cost this winter! I know of one company that is supposed to have run out of Vit E already .

lucerne grazed and hay is good for Vit E but not sure about it being silaged

According to my Vet, ensiling significantly reduces the mineral content of whatever is being ensiled.

i can manage with boluses. but will they go up as well.

Bought next years supply a month ago, pleased now.
