[QUOTE="Stocker Steve, post: 170052, member: 1715"] There have been quite a few studies done on liquid supplements. Usually they point out that individual animal consumption varies and it is fairly expensive. I assume you want to supplement protein. I have calculated the cost per pound of protein for various sources - - and liquids are the second most expensive source for me. The only advantage I see is low labor content. If I had an isolated mature pasture and I got the lick wheel feeder for free (I can from my local feed mill) and I could get a mix that include ionsphore - - then I would pencil it out vs. tubs. (My neighbors alfalfa hay is my cheapest source of protein) [/QUOTE]
