General Feeding Instructions
All blocks can be fed either indoors or outdoors wherever animals have reasonable access. Intakes are generally self-regulatory, dependent on the nutritional requirements of animals and the quality of available forage.
- With reasonable access, one block per 50 ewes and cattle will ensure adequate daily intakes.
- Move blocks occasionally to avoid poaching
- A common practice is to place the block in a used car tyre at the desired feeding site.
- Intakes are stimulated my placing the block near the drinking trough.
- In extremely dry conditions at grass it might be helpful to add water to the bucket in order to keep the licking surface moist and palatable.
- If intakes are excessive, blocks should be rationed by putting out a set amount at definite pre-determined intervals.
In practice, block intakes will become apparent after a short feeding period and the number of blocks allocated per week can be adjusted accordingly.
It is also recommended the check block availability during periods on inclement weather such as sudden snow falls or severe frosts.
Buffer stocks of blocks are useful for quick, easy feeding during these critical periods when losses can be severe.
