[QUOTE="Nkline, post: 1693649, member: 41001"] They usually mark expected consumption on the bag. It can usually be roughly estimated by the percent phosphorus. Then I would look at iu’s of zinc, copper, and vitamins(mostly if you aren’t on green grass). You want to also take not of selenium (some areas need it more, some breeds need it more), and also cobalt especially if you don’t have legumes in your pasture. You should take note of magnesium especially early season, when your forage may be high potassium. Look down the ingredient lists and see what form each mineral is in so you can roughly figure out absorption. Is there a problem you are having that you are trying to address; why are you switching minerals so often? [/QUOTE]
