“Free Choice”
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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!

• 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.

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
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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.
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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
All images and content Copyright© 2006-2008 by Helfter Feeds, Inc.®
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

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.

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.
