[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 824120, member: 6897"] Cost shouldn't be $5.00 a bag more. Chelated minerals are expensive but not that much more expensive than the other forms. Compare the tags from the old mineral and the proposed replacement. Normally the only minerals that are chelates are zinc, manganese, copper and cobalt. Make sure calcium, phos, mag, salt levels are all equal and especially that VITAMINS are equal or greater. Vitamins are just as necessary and are expensive so don't let them reduce them....ask about "recommended" consumption rate. IF they eat less that may be good and it may not be. Depends on levels of Vit. & Min. n the mix. [/QUOTE]
