Mixing may be too complicated a process.... What I am really after is putting salt in with the cotton seed to limit the consumption. I only go out to the land on weekends. I want to fill the feeders with enough feed for the week. I dont want them to eat the week's worth of feed on Sunday! [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
I'll have to defer to an expert. I don't know if the palatability of the feed will cause some (all?) of the stock to get too much salt while trying to get more feed.
I'd check with an extension agent.
I mix granulated salt with granulated minerals for the express reason of adjusting/controlling the average per head per day consumption. If you let them at the pure "uncut" mineral they will go through it in a flash trying to satisfy their salt cravings and get too much of some ingredients. I'm just not sure if you can do the same with salt on feed.
