[QUOTE="neilo, post: 8866487, member: 348"] I guess it depends what deficiencies your forage has, if any at all. Copper and Selenium are stored in the body to a degree iirc, but cobalt and iodine are passed through within a day or so. Drench companies will wax lyrical about their products having 'chelated' cobalt, which passes through the rumen and gets stored but, as a vet pointed out to me, cobalt only feeds the rumen bacteria, which then produce vit B12, which the sheep needs. If it passes through the rumen then it doesn't feed those bacteria at all. She advised that I should run a mile if any drench company starts on about chelates. Troy B12 injection is far more effective for supplementing Cobalt deficiency IME. [/QUOTE]
