[QUOTE="angus9259, post: 920694, member: 7398"] No protein tubs - there's protein in the Bovatec tubs. I'm wondering if it's all "pretty much a waste". In THEORY the Bovatec will still act as an ionophore in the rumen of adult cows empowering the right bacteria to flourish and keeping the unhelpful bacteria and microbes at bay as it does in feeders - that said, it's mostly in the fields in the winter so my fall calves have a little something to keep coccidia at bay. The fall calves also get some wheat mid creep in the winter mixed with salt to limit intake - I started putting out salt blocks when I saw the cows chasing the calves around the field drinking their urine (which I realize is normal to an extent but you shoulda seen to herd jump into action whenever the spatter of calf urine hit the ground.
