Livestock Watering Minerals
Grasses and Grains

Feeding livestock with grasses and grains has been the preferred method of raising animals for over 200 years. Unfortunately, the harvesting of any crop will deplete micro nutrient minerals from fields. An example is the Great Plains. For thousands of years Buffalo migrated over the grasses of the Great Plains, using the grasses as forage and depositing nitrogen and micronutrient minerals back to the earth as they moved south into the Great Plains and north into Canada and back again.
Nutrients were returned by the animals that processed the grasses as they ate and migrated yearly and the bio system was healthy and replenished. This dynamic system created a deep reserve of nutrient minerals and a bio diverse micro organism population in the top soil and grasses grew nearly 8 feet tall. The elimination of the buffalo destroyed this system and when farming came to the plains this process of replenishment was broken by the removal of minerals in human food crops, grasses and grains taken away from where they were grown and used in feedlots and dinner tables. Scientifically the agricultural process that replaced the buffalo was in fact a “mining” operation, where plants were used to extract a product of value (nutrient minerals in food) and taken away from the land where they previously were re-deposited each year by the herds of migrating buffalo. Vast amounts of wealth were made by this process but to a great degree the crop lands that have been used as ‘mines’ have been depleted.
The grasses that grow there now are weak and nutrient deficient. This is evidenced in the problems of maintaining lactation in dairy cattle dependent on specific micronutrient minerals; copper, cobalt and selenium. These critical minerals have been mined out completely in many locations, and as this occurred, the micro organisms were starved of their minerals for maintaining a robust soil structure.
There are options; one is to replenish the minerals taken away over those 200 years and EcoVie will do this. Mineralization has not been offered by the systems of the federal government and no federal subsidies exist for replenishing what has created the crisis in silage for livestock - nutrient empty feed.
An investment in Ecovie minerals over a three to four year period may correct 10 to 20 years of harvesting but if you cannot afford this investment, another way is to deliver the same minerals derived from plants as a supplement in animal watering. EcoVie Livestock Minerals is an affordable way to assure your animals are getting their minerals.
Powders are less effective than liquid ionic minerals. Powders, especially in ruminant animals, are unable to be dissolved into ionic states because of their stomach acids inability to break ionic bonds in crystallite solids like in powders. Much of the powder exits the animal in the stool. EcoVie is immediately absorbable in plants or in animals to make sure the minerals are delivered in the correct atomic state for the body to use in metabolism.
EcoVie Livestock Watering Minerals is available in a One Quart Bottle and makes up 6400 gallons.
