[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1469573, member: 6897"] Formulation a mineral and getting it not only balanced but palatable is a very fine balancing act. A little bit of sweetener might not be enough, increase it just a little bit and they overconsume it. I've been feeding the Purina mineral for a couple of years with no problem getting adequate consumption. Never have tried the Vitaferm but understand it's a very good mineral. I notice they use corn gluten feed to make it more palatable. That might be the secret in this case. Just too many factors come into play when determining the "why" of consumption to place all the blame or credit on one thing. [/QUOTE]
