[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 627559, member: 7509"] I am no expert in this area by any means. However from my limited experience I do think the last part of your quote is a key: vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Maintaining vitamin E and Selenium can be tough in many areas and times of the year, especially ahead of late winter or early spring calving. Vitamin E is very expensive and not in many mineral mixes to any degree. P (phosphorus) referred to in your quote can also be tough to find in certain areas. I think there is good logic to setting out and maintaining availability of a barrel of Mineralyx or something similar with these items, even though they are expensive, especially during the latter half of pregnancy. They may save a lot of dollars in the long run except if they work you are never quite sure. Retained placenta is one situation where the old saying of "an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" may be particularly applicable. jmho. Thanks for posting the quote. [/QUOTE]
