What granular mineral would you advise for...

...providing a sound base for dairy cows?

If the ration is adequate for protein, energy and fibre with no shortcomings, it is better to use a Low Volume Mineral LVM - low inputs of high-spec elements which has been successfully used for a number of years. Choose this as a base mineral and continue using it until such time that either of the next four products has a place. Return to this product afterwards. Use our advice service to calculate the low volumes and get the best results and savings.
