[QUOTE="Bright Raven, post: 1573670, member: 27490"] The proteinates (chelation process) and polysaccharides are both BIOAVAILABILE. Both are organic compounds that promote the biosorbtion of inorganic elements. Both of these are minerals that are formulated to be biosorbed. My statement was that VitaFerm is bioavailable not that one was more or less bioavailable; both of these minerals are more bioavailable than many, many other minerals on the market. Rumensin acts to some extent as a "bacteriostat". Being an ionophore, it reduces (does not totally kill) particularly gram positive bacteria. Not all gram positive bacteria are pathogens and some gram negative bacteria are pathogens. Unless, I had a need to control coccidia, I don't want rumensin in my mineral or feed. The flora and fauna of a mammal's gut reaches a natural balance without being influenced by another chemical. Amaferm does fit the same bill, but not as much of an influence on the microbe balance. Both minerals are excellent. Both are BIOAVAILABILE. They both not only employ sulfates but also employ phosphates, oxides, carbonates, etc. I prefer the chelated compounds (proteinates) in VitaFerm. Chelation of a soluble salt with amino acids and/or partially hydrolyzed protein makes inorganic elements easily biosorbed. This applies to the Zinc, Copper and Manganese in VitaFerm. Very important to fertility. I have a small herd so the sample size is small but I get 100% breed back in 60 days post partum. If it ain't broke, don't fix it! I am 100 % AI, so the significance is important! [/QUOTE]
