Application:

A lick block for goats, deer & alpacas

Net Weights:

2kg brick & 20kg block

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:

Consumption varies with pasture and animal condition, but intake should average about 5g/day over a year.

When to Use Go-Block:

In goats, the most common mineral deficiencies are of cobalt, copper, iodine and selenium. Potential deficiencies of zinc and manganese may occur in some parts of Australia. During pregnancy and lactation requirements are high for calcium, phosphorous and sodium. There are those who say that goats should not be given urea as a supplement. This idea is not based on science, but rather unfortunate experiences with urea poisoning. Goats are ruminants, they recycle urea in the rumen and have a microbial population in their rumen. Therefore they can benefit from non-protein sources of nitrogen that can be utilized in the rumen to build up microbial protein. In fact this is a very economical way of supplying protein to the animal, especially when protein deficiencies occur in the pasture. If pasture or diet will not adequately provide the mineral nutrients which are required , GO BLOCK can help to make good the deficiency.
