  2. Mad Barn individually packaged ingredient question

Re: Mad Barn individually packaged ingredient question

Thanks so much. I searched the product names and not the ingredients… silly me!

The biotin was added to begin with for my IR horses custom mineral so I would hope MB would know if it would be too high in starch for her.  Is anyone else getting the biotin added to their custom mineral blend at Mad Barn? 

The individual packaged product states for Biotin

ACTIVE INGREDIENTS PER 4 GRAMS:
Biotin: 20 mg
EXCIPIENT INGREDIENTS:
Distillers grain, wheat midds

She would only be getting I scoop - 4 grams. 

The zinc:copper states:
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS PER 6 GRAMS:
Zinc: 300 milligrams
Copper: 100 milligrams
EXCIPIENT INGREDIENTS:
Distillers grain

She would be getting 1  1/3 scoops.  

So I’m thinking the amounts should be under the required levels?  


Best wishes,
Heather Davis

As per Dr. Kellon's message in this discussion chain (main@ECIR.groups.io | Distillers grain and yeast cultures) you don't want to go over a cup of the Distiller Grains in a day.  Wheat middlings are high in starch so you want to know how much is in the biotin.

Thanks,

Hello,

I am in the process of sourcing hay for next year but in the meantime time still using my hay from last fall but don’t have enough to order a bag of custom mix from Mad Barn. So I ordered the individual ingredients to mix together but noticed some have additional ingredients in which are concerning to be. 


Biotin- Distillers grain, wheat midds

3:1 Zinc/Copper -  distillers grains

Should I be worried about using these items for my mineral blend?

thanks in advance!!
