Mineral Salt Lick Blocks Common names
Mineral lick, Lick blocks, Animal salt lick blocks, Salt lickDescription:
A mineral lick (also known as a salt lick) is a place where animals can go to lick essential mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals. Mineral licks can be naturally occurring (natural licks) or artificial (such as blocks of salt that farmers place in pastures for livestock to lick).
Natural licks are common, and they provide the biometals (sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus, zinc, and trace elements) required in the springtime for bone, muscle and other growth in deer and other wildlife, such as moose, elephants, tapirs, cattle, woodchucks, domestic sheep, fox squirrels, mountain goats and porcupines.Lick blocks play a significant role as simple and cost-effective mineral supplement for pets and breeding animals, as well as wildlife. The animal helps itself to the lick block instinctively according to its individual need.Lick blocks are available in different sizes, pure or fortified with minerals and trace elements as well as in different flavours.Specification: Items Index Na %≥ 35.9Mg mg/kg≥ 2000Mn mg/kg≥ 500Zn mg/kg≥ 500Cu mg/kg≥ 150I mg/kg≥ 50Co mg/kg≥ 25Se ppm≥?0.3Fe mg/kg≥ 1200
