[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 950468, member: 6897"] I wouldn't think that small amount of soybean meal would have any affect on your cows, let alone cause one to go off feed. As for Amaferm, it's a good product and an expensive one. It basically increases microbial population in the rumen (bacteria and fungi) allowing them to break down the parts of the diet that are less digestible and obtain the nutrients in them. Somewhat like Bovatec and Rumensin but it's not classified as an antibiotic like the ionophores. And unlike yeast products it is not activated until consumed by the cow. Milk butterfat as well as production usually also goes up about 8-10% but this only lasts about 30 days. You can remove the source of the Amaferm for a couple of weeks then put it back into the diet and you'll get the bump in butterfat and milk again. Although expensive cattle only need about 3 grams per head per day of the Amaferm. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
