[QUOTE="rk, post: 461654, member: 2993"] Look.....at certain levels of inclusion, salt will encourage intake. However, a cow will eventually back away and stop consuming when she's had enough salt. In other words, at low levels, it increases intake. At high levels, it slows/stops intake. What I'm saying is that you cannot formulate enough salt in to limit intake if you want 3-4 ounces of total mineral intake. If you want them to eat 3-4 lbs of a salt-controlled [i][b]feed,[/b][/i] formulate salt at about 30% +/-. They'll consume 3-4 lbs, getting about 1 lb total salt in the process which is usually enough salt intake to slow/stop consumption of the feed. 3-4 ounces of mineral cannot contain enough salt to limit consumption in this way.
