PDQ F.A.Q.

Q. What is unique about PDQ mineral products?

A. PDQ mineral products meet Florida’s first limiting nutrient requirement, i.e., trace mineral deficiencies for copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt and selenium, plus calcium and phosphorus. They are designed at intake levels to insure the NRC nutrient requirements for cattle will be met.

Q. How much PDQ Aplus mineral will a cow consume?

A. When fed free choice, mature cows normally consume 1 to 3 ounces of PDQ Aplus per day. It can be hand fed or mixed into rations that do not contain added minerals, so that each animal will consume 1 to 3 ounces per day. PDQ Range Mineral will be consumed at 2 to 4 ounces per day.

Q. What if intake is more or less than the recommendations?

A. If intake is less than recommendations, make sure no extra salt is available and feed in more places, move troughs closer to water and loafing areas. If intake is more than recommended, move feeders away from loafing areas and water or feed additional salt.

Q. How important are the highly bio-available trace mineral sources (organic, chelated form) contained in PDQ mineral?

A. Florida soils and forages are low in many trace minerals, especially copper, zinc, manganese, cobalt and selenium. Trace minerals function to improve digestion, which promotes feed intake, stimulates the immune system for better health and enhances reproductive efficiency for earlier breed back. Chelated trace minerals are incorporated to increase the absorption and retention of several key elements.
