How to Use & Apply
Feeding Recommendations:Feed at a rate of one block per 5 to 15 head of cattle or horses. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share.Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas. Maintain adequate distance between blocks to minimize crowding – 10 feet minimum.Animals should not run out of blocks. When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near it. Place very small pieces in a feed trough to be cleaned up.Cattle or horses should consume about 5 ounces per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal. When animals consume the block at the recommended rate, it will supply 3 mg of supplemental selenium.Blocks can be fed to animals in confinement. Exact location of blocks to obtain desired consumption will vary between confinement feeding programs.Feed as the only self-fed source of salt, minerals and vitamins. Provide a source of clean, fresh water at all times.
