Mineral Supplements: A Key to Profitability
A study conducted at Texas A&M confirmed mineral supplementation is a key to profitability. It showed as mineral supplement rates increase, sickness and disease rates decrease.
Of the farms in this study that had no disease in their herds, 90% used a complete mineral program as part of their management practices.
