[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1798374, member: 42463"] Every vitamin on the shelf intended for human consumption has a label that says the dosage you are taking is many more times the requirement of a normal person. Trace minerals are very small amounts and a healthy animal on healthy soil doesn't need anything. The only reason to have minerals at all is to supplement animals that aren't getting the very small amounts of minerals that keep them healthy and productive. Some animals don't process the minerals they get as well as they should, and some soils don't have everything they need... but it's got to be pretty rare that any animal needs large amounts of mineral. And if they do we shouldn't be using them for breeding replacements, IMO. [/QUOTE]
