[QUOTE="msscamp, post: 665477, member: 539"] I'm thinking it would depend on how often, how much you're adding, and how high a quality your milk replacer is. A high quality milk replacer is formulated to ensure the calf receives the proper amount of vitamins and minerals per day. Selenium is toxic at a certain level. Vitamins A, D, and E are fat soluble, are stored in the body, and are also toxic if too much is given. Vitamins B, and C are water soluble, so any excess is excreted. If the calf has received adequate colostrum, and your milk replacer is what it should be, I can see no reason to add vitamins to it. If you live in a selenium deficient area, a simple injection would be a far more accurate way of ensuring the calf has received the proper amount. [/QUOTE]
