MSM withdrawal??

[Wildmustang777]

Hi!! I am going to feed a steer MSM and was wondering what the withdrawal time is?? Also what is the correct dose for a 1,150 lb steer? Thanks  ;D

I have to ask. What is MSM please?

 

[Wildmustang777]

It's a joint supplement 

 

[vc]

MSM Methylsulfonylmethane, just curios do you know of someone who had good results using it, something you want to try?

I only know about it because of a friend who fed it to her horses... She says she sees results in her horses!!

On the bucket it says "not for use in animals intended for meat" so I didn't know if their was a withdrawal....

^^What part of the above do you not understand?

 

[Wildmustang777]

Sorry should have worded that better..  :

How long of a withdrawal...?

 

[GoWyo]

No withdrawal period.  Do not feed it to meat animals -- at all -- period.

Ok...

What can I do to help him?? He pops in his pasterns really bad  :-\

Get with your vet and see about getting him some additional Selenium, a lot of times its a vitamin deficiency or you vet may prescribe banamine or dex on a specific treatment schedule. 

 

[Wildmustang777]

Already have him selenium... It's genetically in him bc his brother is the same way!!

Maybe I'm way out there but I think popping them pasterns is more of a grow and nervous problem. When I get calves that hit their growth spirt they tend to pop and when we go to them first shows they will do it to. I honestly believe good foot care and time get them over it. I will say we use Stirwalts joint supplement and I never have trouble after about 45 days. Don't over treat it just let them do their thing and they will come out of it. Popping pastures isn't a structural problem like everybody wants us to believe. Now if you have hook issues that's a different thing. Try Kirks supliment and let him be a cow in a big pen with lots of room to go.

 

[Wildmustang777]

Yeah.... I thought maybe it was just a deficiency and He would grow out of it.. He keeps placing lower and lower in class bc of it  :-\

He has plenty of room to run around in and gets walked around for 10 mins a.m. and p.m.!! He's actually getting his feet trimmed today 

Thank you all so much for the responses!!  ;D <beer>
