[QUOTE="kyblockhead, post: 717144, member: 3603"] The percentage or ppm of the nutrient is only 1 part of the equation. You must also know how much of the mineral or supplement cattle are eating. If a mineral has a 52 ppm of selenium then you should expect 2 oz consumption on that mineral. Most minerals are 26 ppm which allows 4 oz intake. The FDA regulates the selenium level. Usually in a 4 oz mineral 1500 ppm of copper will be sufficient provided it is coming from an available source such as copper sulfate. In a 1 oz mineral the copper level would have to be 3000 ppm to provide the same amount of copper to the animal. High iron and sulfur levels can inhibit copper absorption. These recommendations will usually suffice in the southeast. Other regions may have other guidelines. [/QUOTE]
