MVS2 General Mineral/Vitamin Supplement

This supplement has also been used in experiments with forage-based diets. Trace mineral and vitamin premixes are those used for CD2. It is very similar to MVS1 but without molasses. It has the same feeding rate as MVS1, so assuming complete consumption would deliver slightly greater amounts of minerals and vitamins.

Ingredient % (air dry basis)
Dicalcium phosphate 22.3
Vitamin premix 37.0
Trace mineral premix 37.0
Deccox, 6% 3.7
