[QUOTE="Medic24, post: 285167, member: 1101"] Aahhh, had a long chat with our state livestock nutritionist today, and he seems not to be a great fan of any of the tubs really. I fed alot of Purina blocks in the past, and he really was not happy about them, as they can be eaten within a matter of hours or days, causing alot of accute intestinal problems, as they are simple a block that can be bitten with no way to force them to lick instead. Definately NOT the "Feed in a tub" things either, as one already pointed out, they are way expensive per ton. He suspects that the protein tubs are good for folks that don't go and hand feed or see their cattle on a daily basis. He is all for fair or better quality hay with a good loose minerial and vitamin mix as well as feeding energy such as grains or in my case, ground corn. Our hay tests out between 8% digestable protein on the low side, and 13% on the high side of the best rolls. So the protein is mostly covered. [/QUOTE]
