The GOLD Formula difference…

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.

Zinc, the most commonly deficient micro-mineral in forages, is not added in quantity to most other mixes. So we’ve increased zinc from 22ppm to 24,000ppm as fed (compared to other mixes) to promote stronger, healthier hooves. Zinc is also important for animal growth and reproduction.

Selenium (to the maximum level allowed by the FDA), manganese, and cobalt have also been added or have had their levels increased across all mixes. In the Sheep Trace Mineral Premixes, molybdenum has been increased for more protection against copper accumulation in the liver—sheep absorb copper more efficiently than goats.

Limestone is used as a carrier for calcium in all trace mineral packs.

Vitamins are usually acquired when the grass is fresh and green. But during winter months when hay and grain rations are fed, vitamins can be lacking. Always feed during late gestation and lactation to ensure colostrum and milk are enhanced with vitamins to meet nursing lamb’s needs.
