[QUOTE="novaman, post: 461631, member: 2744"] There is no way a cow would take in enough salt to be a limiter in this sense. However, it is used as an attractant because a cow will seek out sodium if she is lacking it. The goal is to get the cow to consume the mineral by having her consume sodium. If there were no sodium, intake would be tough to encourage and the mineral would likely only be eaten by some of the herd instead of all of the herd. Personally I would rather have my cows take in extra mineral then be shorted. [/QUOTE]
