Guest guest Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 I have had REALLY good luck with it at that ratio. And we have used it for years. Now, if we were going to mix it in our dairy goats feed, and use it as a supplement to help try to increase milk production and butterfat, we would go with the higher amount. If you are interested in learning a lot more about it, try to look up Ed and his wife, Bobbie Womack. I think they are in Arkansas. They did a really neat booklet years ago called "Shakleeizing Your Farm", and it has some really near stuff in it. Deb F Basic H usage <<It is NOT a dosage. DO NOT individually dose animals with it. Rate of use is 4 ounces per 150 gallons of livestock water.>>Hmmm, have you had good success with that ratio, Deb? Salatin in "Salad Bar Beef" says to use 12 oz per 100 gallons, or 1 Tbsp per five gallons. Four ounces per 150 gals would be MUCH cheaper!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 This is the first I've heard of using Basic H as a feed supplement, rather than putting in water. This would be even easier to use in winter, when they could escape drinking supplemented water by eating snow. I Googled " Womack, Shaklee, farm " and, despite trying variations and several pages, came up with nothing at all, except for a one-line sentence on a Devon cattle site about how someone sees nothing wrong with a dose of Basic H in the water trough. Any clarification you can give would be very helpful to all of us!

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Hi Deb, How long of a period of time are you giving the treated water to your livestock at the rate of 4 ounces per 150 gallons of water? ie: I will give my sheep water treated with Basic H at the dosage of 4 ounces per 25 gallons of water for a period of four days at a time.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 We use it more of less daily. However, we use a trough that holds 100 gallons, and has an automatic watered on it. So typically, for the first couple of days, we will put 3 ounces in, and then we cut it back to about 1 3/4 ounce, and we use it in the trough every day year round.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I went to the Shaklee web site to take a look at this and price it (!). There is a Basic H and a Basic H2. Which one are y'all using? Thanks, Tammy K. Proverbs Farm Alvin TX > > We use it more of less daily. > However, we use a trough that holds 100 gallons, and has an automatic watered on it.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Basic H 2 is just a double strength version of Basic H, cut the dose rate in half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
