[QUOTE="Fred, post: 182100, member: 125"] From "Feeds and Feeding" Ninth Edition refering to self-feeding a mixure of protein supplement and salt. " The proportion of salt is adjusted so the cattle will eat the desired amount of protein supplement a day. It is essential in this method that the cattle have access to plenty of water,conveniently available,so that they can get rid of the excess salt in the urine. Otherwise, there may be injury or even death loss. Beef cows have consumed a suprising amount of salt (over 2 lbs. per head daily) for long periods without injury, if they were able to get plenty of water. In beginning to use this method, at first the cattle should be hand-fed a mixture of 1 part of salt to 5 or 6 lbs. of protein supplement. Then the proportion of salt should be increased until they will eat no more than the desired amount of protein supplement. " [/QUOTE]
