[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 311170, member: 3739"] ALL minerals have certain quantities that get them to the point that they are considered toxic. With salt, the only toxicity you get is if there's limited water available and livestock is fed a high salt diet. But since that's rare (hardly hear anything like that happening on here...and water's available [i]ad libitum[/i]), then the toxicity thing ain't something to worry about (Not that I meant your worried, just fyi.) Deterioration in Vit.'s D and E? Not necessarily...Vitamin D can have poor stability when mixed with minerals, especially Calcium carbonate. And yet it's more stable than Vit. A... Vit E I'm not certain that it's susceptible to degredation either (I have a feeling it's not all that apparent) but it probably does, just it's not all that obvious. Just my $0.02. [/QUOTE]
