Tips:

• All of Premier’s premixes include the essential trace minerals needed for well-being of sheep and goats. But Dr. Morrical’s GOLD Formula Premixes build on the work done by Dr. Kennedy of Pipestone Veterinary Services by increasing the levels of zinc and iodine to promote healthier hooves, animal growth and reproduction. These premixes also contain additional selenium (to the maximum level allowed by the FDA), manganese, and cobalt to maximize flock health and immunity.
• For goats, copper has been increased with no added molybdenum (ties up copper) for better milking production. Goats should not receive molybdenum because it increases the chance of copper deficiency.
