[QUOTE="kyblockhead, post: 457779, member: 3603"] NOt all tubs are alike. Take a look at a simple comparison of tubs: 20% Molasses tub 20% cooked tub cost/ton $400 $600 daily intake 2 lbs. 0.75 lbs TDN 55% 70% Protein 20% 20% Protein/head/day 0.40 lbs. 0.15 lbs TDN/head/day 1.10 lbs. .525 lbs cost/head/day $0.40 $0.225 True, the cooked tub is cheaper to feed but it doesn't provide much protein or energy for the cost associated with it. This is designed to promote any brand because values will differ by manufacturer. Brands similar to the molasses tub are Ultralyx, Sweetlix, Purina, Westway. Brands similar to the cooked tub are Crystalyx, Smartlic, Feed in a Drum, Positive Feed, Vitalyx, MLS, Kent (Thermolass). Distillers tubs are also becoming more popular. In my opinion you should feed a good mineral along with most of these to ensure cattle can get the mineral they need without overeating a protein supplement to get their salt or phosphorus. [/QUOTE]
