LOOMIX is actually cheaper to supplement than tubs or cubes, when you are comparing apples to apples.
It is the most convenient way to supplement range cattle.
LOOMIX is 100% safe for horses. Keep your sheep away from it, though.
LOOMIX is 97% ALL-NATURAL. K-State doesn't think 3% urea is harmful. In fact, K-State thinks 3% urea is beneficial.
If cattle aren't eating LOOMIX like they should, you have a pi** poor dealer who isn't servicing your account like he'she should. CALL THEM!
All liquid feeds aren't created equal. Comparing any other liquid feed to LOOMIX and saying they are the same is like saying a Hyundai is just like a Rolls Royce. They will both get you where you are going (maybe), but that is where the similarities end.
No other liquid feed is fed in open top troughs, because LOOMIX is consumption controlled with 2 different products. IF you could buy the dry version of LOOMIX's vitamin and chelated trace mineral package, it would cost in the neighborhood of $1000/ton.
ORE-BAC LOOMIX is the only liquid feed with a US Patent issued. If the tag says mineral is included, you best believe it is included, as every load has to be identical to the last load that was built. We proved to the Government that LOOMIX digests more fiber than ANY OTHER product out there, PERIOD. When you buy any patented product, it has to be consistent, time after time.
Water is not added to LOOMIX, so it doesn't freeze. It flows and pumps easily at 40 below. As far as moisture having no nutritive value, it all depends on what the moisture is made of, now doesn't it?
The big selling point with LOOMIX is that there is NO COMPETITION amongst the cows for it, like there can be with tubs, cubes, or other liquid fed in lick-wheel troughs. The Boss cow doesn't get 5 times more than she needs, whilst the timid cows, who need it the worst, get none.
There are generally 2 kinds of tubs, cooked and pressed. The cooked tubs are so hard that a few tubs can last a herd weeks, even months. Pressed tubs are so soft that cows can inhale them as fast as you put them out. Neither scenario is what you are really looking for when you buy supplement for your cows.
Now, OldTimer, they might dribble a little on the ground, but what percent fines does your cake contain? 3%? 7%? They don't eat fines very well either. LOOMIX is available 24 hours a day, but when your cake is eaten, or your tubs are empty, they ain't no more supplement until you go out there again. It takes at least 2 pounds of cake to equal the energy in one pound of LOOMIX. What are your cubes costing/pound? I sell Loomix for .23 cents/pound.
If you ever had a problem with LOOMIX, chances are it can be laid at either your dealer or PPM. I've been a LOOMIX dealer for 12 years, and I have been disappointed by people working for LOOMIX, but I have never been disappointed in any of their products.
One last thing. LOOMIX is wholly owned by Americans. When you pay your feed bill, a portion of the proceeds doesn't go to a foreign country.
