Supplements and Ration Formulation
Supplement composition and quality is extremely important to the
success of any cattle feeding investment. Supplement selection falls into the following
two broad categories: (1) commercial and (2) customized products. In both cases premixes
and supplements can be obtained from a feed or pharmaceutical manufacturer.
Supplements are designed to complement the composition of other ration ingredients and
specific feeding requirements as determined by a professional nutritionist. Supplements or
premixes formulated specifically for feedstuffs of known composition hold the advantage of
improved animal performance at reduced cost.
