Replamin Plus - How Often?

Thank you I assume babies and those under a year would get the same dose as a mini?

I'm not sure about that...hopefully someone else will know

The way it's broken down on the tube is as follows: up to 150 pounds, 5cc, 151-250, 10cc, 251-500, 15cc, 501-700, 20cc, 701-1000, 30cc, 1001 and over, 40cc.

These amounts are for all the species listed and do not vary by species.

A young goat kid or under a year as you mentioned, would get 5 cc.

If you do use the gun to administer the product, the dosage is 5 cc or 10 cc per trigger pull depending upon which slot you have the meter set. No thinking required.

And if you want to really shake it up, and I'm not recommending this to anyone, I've been giving my dog (Newfoundland 120#) a 5cc dose every two weeks. She is black and often gets a red cast or tipping to her fur and this has been eliminated with the use of Replamin. She is on a grain free diet, also.

If anyone would like to contact the company and ask their vets questions, they welcome it. 1-800-468-3877

the gun is a good buy.

I use 'mineral mondays'. its so easy to give, the girls slurp it right from the tube. i think they look better this year, been on it almost a year now. will keep doing it. i can't get onyx mineral anymore, so now i just give them some horse loose mineral, make sure they have salt and RP on mondays.

so doing this weekly would replace the mineral granules?

In my opinion, yes. The name itself, to my way of thinking is "replace minerals." The plus is amino acids.
I am consistent in my administering of the product so I don't have any concerns that they are not getting what they need.
To me, the finest goat minerals don't do a bit of good if your goats won't eat them.
I make no excuses for my goats...they HATE loose minerals.

My goats are always licking the Right Now Onyx. They seem to like it.

I use the Replamin Plus and keep out loose minerals, too. JUST in case.

We actually have found that the goats seem to eat more of the Right Now Onyx when we are using the Replamin Plus! Not sure why that is...but before we started it last year we were concerned that they were not eating enough mineral. Anyone else have this happen?

Most definitely yes! Same thing here. Actually now I give the Replamin so they will eat the Onyx lol!!!

I am a bad goat mommy I was giving the replamin then replamin plus faithfully for many weeks/months and I have sloughed off for the past month. Everyone still looks good!
Took forever though for Shaq to get up to condition, he had very flaky skin and dry hair, saw improvements once I started the plus he also had access to the horses mineral block which he would go to at least a couple times a day.

I am loathe to use a Cargill product, so I was pretty happy to switch to Replamin. The goats really love it, so I have to be careful when dosing the darlings. They will mob me and darned near knock me down to get at it.

Kind of creepy, actually...
