Some one stated it may often be cheaper and more
effective to test the feed, especially hay and grass, and supplement
accordingly, rather than blood tests. May have been Eleanor
Kellon.
"There is a bit of a problem with just
feeding more of a given mineral, though; they are competitive in absorption
and utilization and 'overdosing' one mineral can cause deficiencies in
another." Well said

Unless
you are going to do regular blood work (My mentor has blood drawn every 4-6
weeks on the endurance horses she manages), folks...do yourself a favor and
use a balanced product! I don't care what you use...just use one that is
absorbed..and balanced. Don't waste your money on stuff that will only end up
on the ground in the compost pile!
