[QUOTE="sciencegal, post: 663998, member: 8907"] You can give B's orally to a preruminating calf, although they would work quicker if injected. It's the microbes in the mature rumen that use up the B vitamins. I recently wrote an article for the Dairy Goat Journal on this subject and found quite a bit of recent research into the fate of oral B vitamins in dairy cows. Although it's not exactly certain what happens to the oral vitamins, little make it past the abomasum. "They" are looking for ways to ruminally protect oral B's for high producing dairy cattle. The requirements of these high producing animals are higher than the microbes can naturally keep up with. [/QUOTE]
