William A. Albrecht, PhD William A. Albrecht, PhD 1888 - 19741888 - 1974

Dr. Wm. Albrecht has been widely acclaimed as the Father of Modern Soil Science. In the 1940’s, his research at the University of Missouri investigated the relationship between soil minerals and animal health. He established the concept that it takes healthy soil to have healthy plants, and healthy plants to have healthy animals.

PP1-2 b


One of Dr. Albrecht’s favorite bits of advice was

“Observe nature and study books, if they do not agree, throw away the books.”

Good advice … even today!

Dr. Albrecht’s view of the relationship between minerals in the soils and in animals

is displayed in the next slide.

PP1-2 c


Mineral Wheel

Based on research by several investigators, these mineral interrelationships have been well established.

Mineral Interrelationships in Animals

PP1-2 d

The arrows indicate the relationship between

the minerals. If a mineral has an arrow pointing to another mineral, it indicates

that mineral is a requirement for

absorption.

How to Interpret the Mineral Wheel


Talbot-Carlson, Inc. A pioneer in the industry

In 1957, using Dr. Albrecht’s findings, Tully Talbot started TCI and developed a free

choice mineral feeding system for livestock.

TCI

PP1-2 e


His first application was for Horses.

One instance that illustrates the advantage is an Appaloosa gelding that participated in a two thousand mile endurance race. The horse covered fifty miles per day and never missed a day. He was the only one that achieved this accomplishment in that particular race.

This horse was on the free-choice minerals the entire trip, allowing him to adjust his Cation/Anion balance, and balance his nutritional needs to maintain his workload with different grasses and water every day.

PP1-2 f


This technology was then successfully

adapted to beef, dairy, horse, sheep and goats.

PP1-2 g


IDM

After Tully Talbot passed away, the company was dissolved.

A few years later, Bill Johnson, the General Manager of the old TCI company, resurrected the

concept of individual free choice minerals and continued to develop and refine the technology

under the logo of IDM.

InDividual Minerals

PP1-2 h

Bill Johnson


IDM was very successful in introducing this concept to mega-dairies in California.

These dairies were fed truck-farm processing waste; for instance, tomato rinds would be fed in the morning and

carrot tops in the afternoon.

With the free choice system, he was able to maintain a rolling herd average of

70 to 100 lbs. of milk.

PP1-2 i


In 1988, Helfter Enterprises, Inc., dba Advanced Biological Concepts®, started

manufacturing the product line for IDM. Eventually, Bill Johnson retired and

Advanced Biological Concepts® purchased IDM.

PP1-2 j


Advanced Biological Concepts® compiled a computer database which included water

analysis, feed, and various environmental data from its customer base. This data quickly

revealed that water had a tremendous affect on the consumption of free choice minerals.

It became obvious that water has to be classified as a premier nutrient and must be

considered as a major component in the ration.

PP1-2 k


Water stands alone as the most important nutrient.

For every 1 lb. of dry matter, 3 lbs. of water should be consumed.

PP1-2 l

Milk is 87% Water


Water is to a feed ration, what soil is to a fertilizer program.

No one would consider formulating a soil amendment (fertilizer) program without a soil test. Why would anyone formulate a ration without a water test?

All water is not the same!

PP1-2 m


• It allows the animal to balance nutritional minerals and trace minerals

• It allows the animal to balance the

Cation/Anion charge in feed

• It allows the animal to balance the Cation/Anion charge in water

Feeding Free Choice Minerals has Affects on Many Levels.

PP1-2 0


Over the last two years, research has been on-going in the development and perfection of a free-choice or a force fed Cation/Anion formulation,

marketed as C/A Fortifier®,

C/A Fortifier®, provides a concentrated source of available charges for the animal to adjust their Cationic balance. It is critical to animal health to have a cationic balance.

Cationic Charges

PP1-2 p


If a dairy cow has a 10% Cation/Anion imbalance, that results in a 10%

production decrease.

Cation/Anion Imbalance

What does it mean to your bottom line?

PP1-2 q

Only 90% of the genetic potential is realized.


Over the years, the data revealed that in addition to water and feedstuffs, there are other influences that affect the health and consumption of minerals. These things were identified as:

Environmental Influences on Cationic Charges

•High Voltage Transmission Power Lines•Ley Lines•Underground Gas Lines•Underground Streams•Stray Voltage•Electromagnetic Fields

PP1-2 r


Factors Affecting Cationic Charges on Feedstuffs

• Hammermilling of Feedstuffs• Mechanical Drying• Storage in Electromagnetic Fields• Environmental Heat• Augers or Mixers Rotating in the wrong Direction (Improper Vortex)• GMO Feedstuffs

PP1-2 s


Factors Affecting Cationic Charges on Water

• Pumping• Storage and Plumbing Contamination• Passing Water Near or Through

Electromagnetic Fields• Bacterial Contamination• Plastic or Galvanized Tanks (Zinc?)• Natural Geologic Events like Earthquakes• Chlorine

PP1-2 t


Cationic ChangesWater is a conductor in the body and is a vehicle

through which the body communicates and transfers nutrients. Cationic balance of the water is critical for full genetic potential, and each stage

of life has a different cationic charge.

For example, the ideal Cation/Anion difference in the lactating dairy cow is 30-40 mE

(milliequivalents) and -12 to -8 for prefresh cows.

PP1-2 u


Advanced Biological Concepts® has developed a spreadsheet from our database and experience that addresses the genetic

nutritional requirements for dairy herds.

Our Goal:To maximize the use of on-farm feedstuffs and

minimize purchasing of commodities.
