[QUOTE="Silver, post: 1460049, member: 12520"] Also, according to the charts, recommended Copper intake is 2,000 - 3,000 mg/kg As per Gov't of Alberta agriculture website: Table 4 should help in deciding if a salt is a good source of supplementary trace elements. Compare your salt mix to this table and if your salt falls within the range shown, chances are it will meet the needs of the cattle when eaten at 42 g/head/day, the expected free choice intake of loose salt. It is best, of course, not to guess. Feed testing is a quick and inexpensive way to determine what your situation is. Private feed labs and Alberta Agriculture offer analysis for most of these trace elements. So, without sitting on a copper mine, it turns out perhaps copper requirements can be met with TM salt.
