TWO NEW MINERAL MIXES Ralston Purina Canada introduces two new mineral mixes in a line expansion move. The first of two new products is Sheep Mineral, a no -added -copper blend of micro and macro minerals to be fed free -choice to Iambs, ewes and rams. The second is Range and Pasture Mineral for Beef Cattle, designed spe- cially for ruminants on pasture: It contains a 10mg/kg level of selenium and a high level of magnesium to prevent grass -tetany problems. The two new products bring the Purina Mineral product line to a total of seven, including three dairy minerals; two cattle minerals; a sheep mineral and a hog mineral. "Research tells us that the best approach towards mineral feeding is to offer all the animal's requirements through the grain ration," Marketing Manager Larry Kupecz says. "Once this is done. offering a quality balanced mineral blend free -choice will allow for a small intake of additional mineral." This offers a low-cost "insurance against mineral deficiencies," Kupecz adds, "because of possible variations in individual animal mineral requirements and roughages." He goes on to explain, "I've got to make it clear though that the first step is to satisfy all the animal's requirements through the grain ration since animals can't select the correct ingredients to satisfy their min- eral nutrient requirements." The ingredients used have been test- ed for RBV (Relative Biological Value) which offers an excellent value in the mineral blend because the animals can use the nutrients efficiently.
