[QUOTE="Fly, post: 7445411, member: 154779"] For the issue around potash locking up magnesium, i would recommend applying sodium little and often. If there isnt enough sodium in the forage, animals substitute sodium for potassium which means they are less able to absorb magnesium into the blood which is when you get issues with staggers etc. If you can maintain a potassium to sodium ratio at less than 20:1 in the forage then this risk is dramatically reduced. Hope this helps :) [/QUOTE]
