Benefits
The GOLD Formula difference…
Formulated by Premier’s small ruminant nutritionist, Dr. Dan Morrical, Ph.D., Kid Finisher Trace Mineral Premix maximizes your herd’s health and immunity. Contains high levels of copper, zinc, iodine and other essential trace minerals.
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. (Hoof growth is a long term process so benefits may not be seen for several months of continuous feeding.)
The key to avoiding copper deficiency is to provide a free choice mineral mix that is properly balanced between copper and molybdenum. (High dietary molybdenum can depress absorption of copper in goats.) Prevention of deficiencies now means fewer animals requiring treatment later on.

* For all 3 rations: If the ration is too dusty one can add molasses at 5% of the ration or vegetable oil at 2% of the ration in place of corn. One can also spray up to 5 gallons of water into the mixer while mixing.
* For Starter ration: Feed high quality hay in the creep feeder to help attract goat kids to the feeder.
* For Finisher & Grower ration: Limit long stem hay feeding at 5–15% of the goat kid’s intake will help with rumen acidosis. This will amount to .2 to .5 pounds per day. Excess hay feeding will reduce goat kid performance and self-fed large hay packages are discouraged as intake cannot be regulated.
- Mix thoroughly the Kid Finisher Trace Mineral Premix, ADE Premix, Ammonium Chloride and Deccox with 20-30 lbs of cracked corn.
- Add to the remaining ton of lamb feed.
This product is formulated to help with hoof integrity with very high levels of zinc and iodine to promote stronger, healthier hooves. Hoof growth is a long term process so benefits may not be seen for several months of continuous feeding of this trace mineral premix. Provide a source of fresh clean water.
Tips
Shepherd’s Choice™ Management Tip
To make it more palatable, a customer tried MIX 30 for conditioning his grind and mix creep ration. Acceptance was excellent—kids liked the smell and taste. The producer used 4 gallons per ton. The cost was inexpensive compared to wet molasses or vegetable oil. (Under $8.00 per ton.)Questions? Ask a livestock nutritionist to help customize a mineral ration for your situation.
Precautions
Including more than 5 lbs of this trace mineral premix per ton of feed will exceed the allowable FDA intake levels of .69 mg of selenium per head per day.
Read all warnings and cautions on label. Follow mixing and feeding instructions carefully. For livestock use only.

We began feeding this in the 15% suggested ration to weaned market kids and their mothers for flushing. So far, the goats approve the taste and we appreciate the price tag compared to pelleted feeds. We did add 5% molasses and plan to add oil and/or water during warmer weather.
