Is MSE available in Canada and are gains worth the cost, also is it for goats

--jim blemkie

Jim;

Yes, MSE can be available in Canada.

And yes, MSE is economically feasable. The cost of MSE is about $0.05 per head per day and the return is about $0.12 to $0.30 per day, depending on the cattle type and ration being fed.

MSE works in all ruminant animals, including goats, although we do not have any data on this species. I can say that MSE works best on low quality roughages or marginal rations.

Can MSE be used in livestocks or hogs? Can this be used for odor control? How can the product be used? Price for it??

--Joseph Lin

Yes MSE has been used with hogs. It is very effective at odoer control. MSE is added to the hog's ration. It cost about $4.75 per pound. Please contact Dan Haverkamp at Naturs Way (785-486-3302) for further information about feeding MSE to hogs.

What is the cost of feeding MSE?

--Allen Masterson

The cost of MSE is $4.78 per pound, delivered to the western US. That equates to about $0.03 , $0.05, and $0.10 per head per day for calves, finishing steers or heifers, and dairy cattle, respectively
