Feeding Instructions

CAUTION: Use as directed. Consumption of selenium should not exceed 3 mg per head daily for cattle or horses and not exceed more than 0.7 mg for sheep or goats per head daily

Introductory Period: Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 1 to 2 pounds for mature cattle and horses with unrestricted forage supplies. Position the blocks 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some repositioning of blocks may be necessary as animals become acclimated to the presence of the blocks. Move blocks closer to increase consumption; further away to decrease consumption. If over consumption occurs for more than two weeks and repositioning of blocks does not correct the situation, remove blocks and evaluate the overall feeding program. 

Feeding Recommendations: 

1. Feed at a rate of one block per 10 to 20 head. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
2.  Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between blocks to prevent crowding - 10 feet minimum.
3. Feed blocks continuously along with plentiful sources of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of blocks. When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near it.
4. Cattle and horses should consume 1 to 2 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal. Goats should cosume 1 to 5 ounces per head daily.
5. Consumption of this block may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly, feeding locations of blocks with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
6. If additional vitamin and mineral fortification is desired, provide an appropriate SWEETLIX^® self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
