Mineral Balances

[Chellebean]

Hey all,

I had a mineral balance done over 2 months ago for my gelding but having some serious issues! He gets to the point where he eats it all for about 4 days and then just stops
I have tried cinnamon, mint, tumeric but have had no luck getting him to eat it. I believe it stems from a really tainted batch of Magox.

Can anyone think of a way to encourage him to eat his tea with minerals in it?
He is typically a none fussy cob


Thanks in advance

I had the same trouble. I started from my base diet and added each day my different minerals. I got them to eat the mag ox and linseed and that was it. Have changed over to pure feeds for the summer and will have another go at it winter time. Its very frustrating when you have spent time and money trying to do your best.
