[QUOTE="TexasBred, post: 898422, member: 6897"] Given the option and even at $2.50 per bag more I'd always choose the mineral with the chelates. Higher bioavailability than the oxides or sulfates and as such the mineral need not be so highly fortified. If an animal is able to utilize 10% of the oxides and 90% of the same trace mineral in chelated form there would be no need to put that particular mineral into the mix at such a high inclusion rate as with oxides and sulfates. Most minerals will always meet the guarantees on the tag... the only catch is that they don't tell you that 90% of some of those minerals end up on the ground and as much as 65% of the others do the same so $2.50 extra per bag may be a real bargain. Makes it mighty hard on the kidneys and liver getting rid of the stuff too. Rather than compare it to a car compare it to a stud horse. He delivers the goods while the gelding simply pees and cost you money. [/QUOTE]
