loose mineral or mineral block

[MommaBugg]

It is labeled Co-op forage-master goat mineral for meat goats on pasture


the mineral we are using has 1,700 pppm min. and 2,100 ppm max. for copper
and 80 ppm for selenium

The copper is in the form of copper lysine and copper sulfate
and the selenium is in the form of sodium selenite.

There is a big warning on this product to not allow you goats to consume more than .31 ounces per head per day, because of the high amounts of selenium in it.

We have been very happy with this product.

YAY! I found a feed store that carries Sweetlix!! Its a little further drive but we planned on starting all of our shopping in the next town anyway.

Now I had the lady read the selenium and copper amounts off the label. She told me 50ppm selenium and 1750 min and 1810 max copper.. Will I still need to supplement with the selenium paste?

the paste only has 500 IU vit E and 2.5 ppm selenium per 5ml dose

I still do selenium shots, or I get weak legged kids. Not positive how the amounts of selenium convert. Here is the product label, I give 1cc per 40lbs of body weight 30 days before they kid. http://valleyvet.naccvp.com/index.php?m=product_view_basic&u=country&p=msds&id=1047025

But with out doing blood levels, it is really just guessing how much they need. I just know that if I don't give it my does will have more kids with weak pasterns and ligaments.
