[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1091616, member: 6897"] As I said....You can do the math. You must figure consumption into the equation SL/NC or everything is useless. Look at the sulfur guarantees on those tubs then consider consumption. Do the same with the remainder of the diet which typically will be from 20 to 40 lbs. per head per day. The sulfur level in the water article would be excessive only because there is the potential for the cow to drink as much as 40-50 gallons of it per day. If she only drank 4-5 gallons it would be harmless. The same for the molasses tubs. The consumption on those tubs is a very small percentage of the total diet. This applies to every nutrient density contained in anything an animal may eat. That is why we "balance" rations. To ensure that we have no shortage, no overages as well as compensate for those things that tend to be antagonistic towards other elements. It's a bit more complex than downloading the OSU ration calculator or cutting the tag off something and claiming that it is deadly. Dr. Ensley ( a veterinarian rather than a nutritionist) more or less is attempting to tell you the same thing IF you can comprehend. [/QUOTE]
