Magnesium chloride 25kg

[[135546]]

Hello, normally I buy intra labs magnesium oxide powder but recently saw a deal on 'NedMag' magnesium chloride flakes on the mole valley farmers website for £7.75! Obviously this would be a huge saving - but on visiting my local store, they don't stock it.
Does anyone know anywhere else that does sell this brand please?

I don't know that brand but ive bought it very cheaply off Amazon in the past.

Unfortunately none of mine would touch it. ?

Mole Valley definitely do stock it. Just ask them for a sack of magnesium choride. Its for cows. Think it costs closer to £9 though. I put mine in water and then add it to soaked feeds. They were picky at first but its fine now. Its saved me hundreds.

Maybe the price is low but the flakes aren't in stock because nobody needs it at this time of year... cheap magnesium chloride is for de-icing paths where sodium chloride is not permitted.

Its not in this case. Its to add to water for cattle. The deicing stuff isnt recommended to be fed to animals

Magnesium oxide is not the same as chloride surely? It's totally different I wouldn't feed that

I get that; manufacturers' websites list feed grade and de-icing grade. I was thinking that the cheaper stuff would be de-icer and not for adding to drinking water.

You can feed it but it is different (and personally my two mares won't touch it):
