Application:
A Lick block
for all livestock
Net Weight:
20 kg blocks
Feeding Instructions:
Remove outer
carton and plastic cover and place near water troughs, dams and
stock camps. Place out sufficient blocks to avoid overcrowding of
stock. Initially, the consumption rate will be higher than average,
but higher rates of consumption will drop after an initial "gorging"
period. Replace immediately when consumed.
Consumption
Guide:
The following
rates will increase or decrease according to varying pasture conditions.
Cattle 20-30
g/head/day
Sheep 5-10 g/head/day

When to Use
12% High Sulphur:
The bacteria
in the rumen require an array of minerals and elements to process
feed. Nitrogen, phosphorus and sulphur are some of the major elements
required for the synthesis of amino acids and protein. There is
a concentration of these elements at which rumen microbes function
optimally, so each of these elements must be in balance.
The effect of
balancing these essential elements is an efficient breakdown of
dry and fibrous feeds, such as dry pastures and stubble. When this
ratio is correct, the protein derived from the bacteria in the rumen
results in more digestion of the food eaten by the animal and more
protein for the animal to digest. Sulphur is also very important
to the function of fungi in the rumen. The fungi are important in
helping rumen bacteria derive more nutrients from dry and fibrous
feeds. When there is a sulphur deficiency in the diet, the population
of rumen fungi decrease dramatically, resulting in less energy and
protein derived from dry feed consumed. Sulphur also serves as a
protective agent against the effects of prussic acid poisoning when
animals graze plants such as Sorghum or Sudax.
Olsson's 12%
Hi Sulphur should always be available for animals grazing these
plants. Many graziers have noticed that sulphur to has liceocidal
effect, which means that animals which have a sulphur supplement
available at all times are more resistant to lice infestation than
those without.
