David Lund started the discussion Chlorella Algae in the forum Livestock a year ago
Has anyone used or have knowledge/experience regarding the use of chlorella algae in cattle water as a supplement to aid digestion, improve weight gain, reduce feed intake and hasten finishing time on grass? It seems to be mixed with other minerals and a yeast source for a few days before application/injection into drinking water.

If you have deep silty loams then I am not surprised…

Thanks for the thorough explanation. And yes you are right, there is less runoff and more water staying where it should, in the soil, higher up in the landscape. Where does one find these GCL liners? I’m in Kentucky, USA.

Can someone explain how you find the “keypoint,” of a property?

Good morning @lailaalizadeh ,
Thanks for the question.
I will use the definition that we provided in the ‘2•10 Geography of Keyline’ section of the ‘Regrarians Handbook’:
“…KEYPOINT – is located in both the Saddle and Primary Valley landforms. In
the Saddle the Keypoint is located in the apex of the Saddle depression. Each successive Primary…

This makes perfect sense, thanks. And the key lines begin where the primary valley key point starts?
