[QUOTE="regolith, post: 819902, member: 9267"] We don't tend to have feed systems that minerals &c can be easily added to in this country, my vet wanted me to put it in the water supply as a bloat prevention, which some farmers do. Or if I'm drenching minerals, I could have added it - I'd called him because of problems with the mix becoming too thick to drench when I started adding the bloat oil. I'm a bit suspicious about using it as bloat prevention though this vet assured me that farmers who use it don't see bloat. I just don't like to take risks, and hearsay like that might be a little like the neighbour last year who told me that through the spring he had found four cows cast and was surprised when I told him milk fever causes that, he needs to do something about the minerals. Sometimes not seeing a problem only means the observer doesn't know what he's looking at. (I'm also mindful that the type of farmer who would use Rumensin isn't likely to be 'all-grass' - hence will have lower bloat risk anyway) I might have a look at what information is available on Rumensin - I've never really investigated it but know of it as an improver of feed conversion efficiency and since I've got a way to feed molasses to the herd I think that's one way to really up the conversion efficiency in an otherwise all-grass diet. The adverts say rumensin is a real cheap way to get more production. [/QUOTE]
