Canada K-Mix
Free Choice Sodium and Potassium Supplement for all Classes of Dairy and Beef Cattle
K Mix (Potassium) is a Free Choice Mineral Supplement for all Classes of Dairy and Beef Cattle. Potassium is required by the animal body for normal nutrition and is linked with calcium and phosphorus in bone building processes. Its presence affects feed efficiency by aiding rumen bacterial growth and proper cell pressure for nutrient utilization. Muscle and nerves need potassium for proper maintenance.
The optimum amount is in a range of 0.93 – 1.02% of total dry matter. Potassium is a strong base. If excessive, the rumen requires more chlorine to excrete the excess as potassium chloride.
Potassium is one of the major cations involved in osmotic pressure balance, acid-base balance, normal muscle contraction, activity and plays a major role in carbohydrate metabolism.
Forages normally contain more than adequate potassium for ruminants, but high grain rations may require potassium supplementation. Potassium needs to be supplied daily because there is no appreciable reserve. Deficiency symptoms of either Sodium or Potassium are aggravated by an excess of the other.
Effects of an Excess of Potassium:
Excess potassium is excreted quickly in the urine but this may cause a wash out situation which can disturb the calcium-phosphorus balance.
Excess potassium reduces magnesium absorption.
Magnesium deficiency reduces potassium retention, leading to potassium deficiency.
Alkaline rumen, unless chlorine is also present.
Slows down bacterial growth and multiplication.
Poor feed efficiency.
Pressure inside the cell is too great for movement of food into the cell.
Effects of an Deficiency of Potassium:
Decreased carbohydrate utilization
Slow growth
Reduced appetite
Muscular weakness
Nervous disorders
Potassium deficiency results in diarrhea, distended abdomen, untidy appearance, unsteady gait and abnormal electrical activity in the heart. If severe, lethargic conditions with high incidence of coma and death.

Equine K-Mix ((Potassium)
Free Choice Mineral Supplement for all Classes of Ruminants and Equine
Cation (+) and Anion (-) Charged Balanced Mineral Supplement also Fortified with Enzymes
Equine K-Mix (Potassium) is a Free Choice Mineral Supplement for all classes of horses. It is used to help maintain fluid balance with water retention and dehydration. Potassium is required by the animal body for normal nutrition and is linked with calcium and phosphorus in bone building processes. Muscle and nerves also need potassium for proper maintenance.
Potassium is one of the major cations involved in osmotic pressure balance, acid-base balance, normal muscle contraction, activity and plays a major role in carbohydrate metabolism.
In their natural state, wild animals instinctively seek the food nutrients they need from a wide variety of natural sources. Domesticated animals today are restricted to small pastures, lots, stalls and buildings. The availability of natural sources for minerals and vitamins dwindles in relation to the degree of confinement.
Advanced Biological Concepts provides many nutritional solutions for confined and semi-confined horses by offering the Free Choice Stress System, A.B.C.'s Complete Diagnostic Free Choice System and the Free Choice Box Stall Kit (described on the following pages). Natural minerals are provided in separate compartments. They are natural in composition and in taste, with no additives. Horses can choose their minerals and vitamins by instinct and taste alone, as they always have.
