[QUOTE="Jinty Mcginty, post: 7260254, member: 147410"] Thank you for the very detailed and informative reply it seems to be quite a complex subject.As i said previous we did a forage analysis of the grass fields after having a poor lambing and the only stand out was the iodine levels which was the highest Thank you for the very detailed and informative reply. As I said in a previous message following a poor lambing we carried out a forage analysis on the grazing fields the ewes were running over and the only stand out was the iodine levels which was at the highest level they had ever recorded. Moving on from that results we split our ewes into 5 batches before tupping Batch 1 control no treatment Batch 2 slow release TE bolus no iodine Batch 3 slow release TE bolus with iodine Batch 4 well known chelated TE drench Batch 5 ad-lib fertility bucket We split our replacements 5 ways and rotated them around the different fields and Tups so as to not skew the results. The scanning results were an eyeopener results peaked at 208% on the control !! with the worst being the slow release TE bolus with no iodine at 167% the complete opposite to what I was expecting.How can you make any sense out of that. Our local vet said people get hung up on TEs when you should be concentrating on getting basic husbandry correct with TEs only tinkering around the edges for getting the last few % squeezed out of them,which now I tend to agree with [/QUOTE]
