This makes herbivores such as cattle and sheep very easy to lack of trace elements. Lick bricks were developed to supplement the nutritional needs of livestock. Cattle and sheep and other ruminants are mainly forage, long-term single feed feeding, cattle and sheep are prone to lack of mineral trace elements, which easily leads to low estrus rate and mating rate of female animals, low survival rate of young animals and so on. The addition of rich minerals and trace elements of the licking brick just make up for the shortcomings of forage, cattle and sheep long-term licking indeed on some nutritional deficiencies have greatly improved, so the use of licking brick more and more popular.

Iron (Fe) Protein and enzyme function. Lack of easily lead to anemia, newborn cattle and sheep easy to lack.

Iodine (I) Thyroid function. Lack easily leads to goiter, low reproduction rate, low milk yield, abortion, stillbirth.

Selenium (Se) synergizes vitamin antioxidant function. Lack easily leads to slow development, muscle albinism, metritis, mastitis, and undergrowth.

Cobalt (Co) Vitamin B1 component and energy absorption. Lack of easy to lead to slow growth, anemia, hair loss, tears, reduced immunity, lack of appetite.
