In this episode of The Dairy Podcast Show, Dr. José Eduardo Santos from the University of Florida breaks down the differences between mineral sources like sulfates, organics, and hydroxy trace minerals, focusing on their bioavailability and interactions in the rumen. He explains how hydroxy trace minerals not only reduce antagonism but also enhance lactation performance. Tune in to this episode on your favorite platform!

"Hydroxy chloride tends to be inert in the rumen due to the typical pH, resulting in minimal solubility and dissociation."
