Selenium-E Gel instead of Bo-Se?

I'm not very experienced or knowledgeable at all, I've been a goat owner for 6 months. But I have spent a lot of time researching because that's what I love to do.

I buy my kelp from Azure Standard. Thorvin brand. It is cut into small pieces and dried. I've tasted some myself and it's not fishy tasting, my goats absolutely love it. I give them 1/2 oz every day (well right now 1 oz because I am pre-emptive treating for Johne's in case that's what my bucks died from) It cost me about $76 a 50lb bag and each bag should last me nearly a year, since I have a small herd. (now five, hopefully next month some babies )

And if you're like me and you only have a couple goats, Azure sells a smaller version - 5 pounds for about $10. It's not nearly as cost effective but 50 pounds would take me forever to use - and it would likely not keep for that long. The 5 pounds is not animal feed - it's the human version, so if I can always add some to smoothies or whatever for me and my family as well. Can't go wrong that way!!

Check to see if there is an Azure delivery near you - I know I sound like an Azure sales rep, and actually I kinda am, but not for anyone on this board. We own a health/bulk foods delivery company - basically we deliver Azure goods in the areas of Washington state not serviced by Azure standard. So, it's really not a sales pitch when I speak highly of their products (unless your in WA state!) it's because we truely love the products that Azure carries.

Isn't the human grade one MUCH more expensive though? It seems like it was nearly $100 more for a 50lb bag....

Nope - it was about $10 bucks for 5 pounds. Product code is HS617. It's the Azure farm brand - which means it's another brand that they've repackaged into smaller packages - very likely Thorivn Kelp. It definately is more expensive, but I have no desire to store 50 pounds at a time, nor put out the money on 50 pounds - if I had a bigger herd (only two does currently) it would be crazy to buy it in the smaller packages though.
