[QUOTE="greggy, post: 1609773, member: 38479"] Why try and diagnose a problem that is not already existing ? You can look around and get an idea of what is in brewers grain, and make rest of ration too suit, then, a few months down the track, test the animals, not the poop IMO, and see if anything is lacking whilst they are still healthy. I could have 6 calves, on exact same feed, one squirting, one hard as rocks, and the rest somewhere in between, I look at how they act, look for if hydrated if very loose...etc, hydration is important. I think your feeding them very well and a lot of un digestible hulls being excreted, that is my take, but I am green too. When watching what comes out the rear, with sheep and calves, I look at other factors...i.e I just fed them a week of very wet food... = loose, but otherwise acting normal and lot of energy...ok.. When loose, if weak, lethargic, at rear end of mob always, general apathy, then there is an issue.... [/QUOTE]
