A lick block for Equines with calcium deficiencies

Net Weights:

4 x 4kg Pack, 40kg block

Feeding Instructions:

Feed out a 4 kg brick per horse every 2 weeks. It does not matter if the portion is eaten before the two weeks expires, so long as every 2 weeks the animal receives 4kg of the preparation

When to use Olsson's Equine Blocks:

1. When the feed ration is deficient in calcium.

2. When the feed ration causes calcium deficiency.

OLSSON'S EQUINE BLOCKS are formulated for horses grazing pastures of buffel, kikuyu, setaria, and some of the other exotic grasses.

When on these pastures for extended periods horses develop the condition known as "Big Head". This condition occurs because the calcium in the grass, although often at the correct concentrations, becomes unavailable to the horse due to the subtance oxalate also in the grass.

This causes a calcium deficiency and a relative phosphorus excess in the diet with symptoms of swollen and sore bones, big head and milk fever in pregnant mares.
