Feed Buckets vs Mineral Buckets
Feed and Mineral buckets are a convenient way to ensure that farmers can supplement their animals with essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements. But, with so many different feed buckets and mineral buckets on the market, it is often difficult to determine which product is the best fit for your livestock.
What's the Difference?
Feed Buckets
Feed buckets are recommended where extra protein and energy is required alongside a full complement of minerals, trace elements and vitamins to supplement the overall diet. These are particularly useful at times of high energy and protein demand such as lambing, calving and lactation.
Mineral Buckets
Mineral buckets are focused on providing specific minerals and trace elements that might be lacking in the main diet. Some formulations have a wide range of nutrients to support poorer diets whilst others can be targeted for times of high demand of particular components, such as magnesium when staggers is a risk.
