[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 1354315, member: 6897"] bb hard to say. Nothing in mineral is palatable so companies add things like DDG, cottonseed meal, or dried molasses to give it some taste. As long as the mineral is highly fortified (most use oxides and sulfates) and balanced it should be ok IF it doesn't contain too much of the "taste enhancer" to cause overconsumption. Personally I look for minerals that have zinc, manganese, copper, and cobalt in the form of amino acid complexes. Some companies make some ingredients that will be disclosed on the tag as proteinates or chelates. They're ok but not the best. Your Kent mineral is probably ok and yes consumption does seem to yoyo from time to time. [/QUOTE]
