Does anyone have any experience in using Synthetic Zeolite to reduce metabolic problems such as milk fever? Studies suggest using it 3-4 weeks pre calving.
In reading some articles it is used in Europe often. How is it fed? My understanding is that it’s a mineral, so would be a powder/ granule, with a relatively low dose rate?
Here is where I saw it, and it got my interest.
