[QUOTE="Craig-TX, post: 38827, member: 39"] Interesting info, thanks for the links. A couple of excerpts... ================== 12. Can I limit the amount of MIX 30™ I feed? Cattle will not normally consume MIX 30™ unless they are experiencing a nutritional deficiency. However, if cattle are consuming more than you want, you can limit their intake in a variety of ways. You can adjust the location of the tub in relation to the water source and/or you can limit the amount that is available to them on a daily or weekly basis. Using lick wheel feeders will also limit the amount of MIX 30™ they can consume. Salt may also be used as a tool to limit intake. 20. What precautions to I need to take for handling MIX 30™ during the winter? Because MIX 30™is slightly acidic it never actually freezes. However it will thicken up and pump harder in temperatures below 10º. To alleviate any problems simply empty the pump and pipe lines out when not in use. The product in the tank will hold its heat and stay fluid. Another option is to place a heat tape around the pump and pipe lines to keep the product warm. ================== Liquid feed works very well in situations where (for whatever reason) you can't check your cattle as often as want. Especially in the winter. It will help them keep conditioned just as well as cake or cubes. I still suspect that, pound for pound of effective nutrients and energy, it's more expensive way to go. But it could be worth it if you can't cake them every other day. Craig-TX [/QUOTE]
