The Right Now� Mineral Solutions Guide
“There isn’t enough (pick one: Copper, Selenium, Iodine) in Right Now� Mineral! Don’t you know we are deficient around here?”
Answer: Traditionally feed companies have addressed mineral deficiencies by simply adding more of the mineral that is thought to be in short supply. Adding more of one mineral may or may not solve the problem, but it often creates yet another problem.
Because of our close association with livestock operations across the country, we are keenly aware of regional mineral composition of forages. Each year we have numerous samples of hay and pasture plants analyzed so we can stay abreast of changes as they occur. Rather than just adding more of a deficient mineral, research has shown that we can often receive better production responses by maintaining the proper balance of minerals and using enhanced-value mineral ingredients in the formulations. Adequate mineral levels must be met, but nutritional balance is one of the keys to success of the Right Now� Mineral Program.
