The amount of MIN-AD fed varies with application, ration composition, and production levels. Beef cattle can be fed at about 3 oz/ head/ day or 0.75% - 1.00% of the total ration on a dry matter basis. It can effectively replace other Mg and Ca sources. Dairy cattle can be fed at the rate of 3-6 oz/ head/ day, depending on whether it is fed in combination with other buffer products. Contact your nutritionist for a recommendation specific to your application.
