Macro elements are inorganic elements whose requirements are calculated in grams, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur, etc. Trace elements are inorganic elements in milligrams and micrograms, including cobalt, copper, iodine, iron, manganese, molybdenum, selenium, zinc, etc. With the continuous improvement of the production performance of dairy cows and the continuous increase of concentrate, the production performance of dairy cows in all aspects is more and more restricted by mineral trace elements.

What is Rocky Lick Brick?
Rocky Lick Brickis the mainMinerals and trace elementsThe fully mixed pre-mixed product is formed into a block after high-pressure extrusion.
Rocky licks are used together with regular feed to provide a variety of essential minerals to supplement the required nutrients and balance the diet.
Special heavy-duty hydraulic presses are used in Lodge production. The pressure per square inch exceeds 10000 kilograms (per square centimeter1.5tons or200ba). Under such pressure, the various ingredients in powder form are squeezed into hard blocks like stones, which is why Lodge gets its name.
Phosphorus-rich Rocky-a licking brick for high-yielding cows and calves with a "organic product" certificate.
Lodge products produced in this way can be used in a variety of weather conditions, whether it is rain, snow or wind, wet. Loose mineral powder can easily be blown away by the wind or become "mud", but Rocky licks are hard and can be continuously licked until they are exhausted. As a result, Rocky licking bricks are actually more economical than many other "cheap" feed additives.
In addition to high hardness and wear resistance, Rocky also has good palatability. Livestock like to lick the rocky, their tongue just adapt to the texture of the rocky, so can ensure adequate intake every day, which is of great benefit to livestock. In addition, livestock will stick saliva to the surface of the brick, slightly softening the surface without affecting the hardness of the interior.
The amount of licking brick intake depends on a variety of factors, such:
* Content of minerals in livestock's existing diet
* Mineral content of existing feed and other feed substances
* Breeds and types of livestock
* Production level (e. g. milk yield)
The possible intake of livestock is shown in the table below. It should be noted that this is only a reference and not an accurate actual consumption.

How to use it most effectively?
Livestock should lick the bricks as much as possible. Every 5-10 adult cattle or20For sheep, the farmer should place at least one lick brick.
Lick bricks should be placed as close as possible to water sources and where livestock frequently congregate.
If not enough lick bricks are placed, it will lead to competition between livestock.,Weak livestock may not get enough licking.,This leads to inadequate intake.
Livestock have a natural need for salt, so ensure that livestock can lick it at any time to meet their needs.
Lick bricks placed in a variety of ways, such:
* Placed directly in the feed trough
* Fixed to barn fence or post
* In a special lick box
SuspensionLick brickAttention should be paid to using thick ropes. If thin iron wire is used, it will be pulled into licking bricks over time. A small piece of plastic tube can be inserted into the hole in the middle of the licking block to prevent friction and damage in licking.


Phosphorus-rich RockyLick brick also known as"Progestational Rocky", which is specially designed for breeding livestock, especially during the high-yielding period of cows,Phosphorus, calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, selenium, sodium and other mineral trace elements interactionIt plays a very important role in improving the health index, reproduction rate and milk production of dairy cows, and will affect the final profit and return.
phosphorus rich rocky lick brick significant efficacy:
1:Solve the problem of maternal reproduction (e. g. long parity, repeated infertility, frequent miscarriages)
2:Extend the peak period of lactation; increase milk yield.
3:Extend the life of the mother; (a cow with an annual output of 8,000 liters is lost in its milk production.60kg of minerals)
4: Improve the comprehensive health index of dairy cows and reduce the incidence of dairy cows (e. g. mastitis, hoof disease).
5: Cow pica disappears (gnawing wood,Licking hair,Licking urine,gnawing plastic), with smooth fur.
6: to promote food digestion, improve feed utilization, saving concentrate.
Red RockyThe licking brick is specially designed for ruminants. The balanced nutrition formula can promote the growth and development of cattle, increase milk production, increase body weight and increase reproduction rate. Magnesium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, zinc, selenium, sodium, copper and other elements interact and participate in the metabolism of the body, so it has a great effect and influence on the health, weight gain, milk production, reproduction and other aspects of cattle, and finally brings breeding benefits.
Red Rockysignificant efficacy of licking brick:
1: Improve animal health and reduce morbidity (e. g., increase pregnancy rate in the initial stage, mastitis, hoof disease, retention of the placenta, etc.);
2: increase water intake, increase appetite, increase weight and milk production;
3: enhance fertility and fetal health;
4: improve the quality of fur, improve food digestion, improve feed utilization;
How to Identify a Good Lick Brick
First, look at the appearance.. Good licking brick products, appearance: cube, with round holes in the middle. This kind of product production process is complex, the technology, equipment requirements are quite high, to prove that the production enterprise has the strength, and not easy to damage, convenient transportation, generally5KGA heavy piece of the most reasonable. Round cakes and cylindrical licking bricks are much easier to make even if they have round holes.
Second, look at the process. As we all know, the biggest problem of licking bricks is the problem of damp damage. The humidity in the south is quite large and it is easy to be affected with damp. It is easy to be damaged when affected with damp, causing losses. Lodge Lick Bricks imported from the UK use a special heavy hydraulic press. per square inch of pressure over10000Kilogram (per square centimeter1.5tons or200Bar), under such a great pressure, various raw materials in powder form are squeezed like stone hard blocks, and their moisture resistance will be much stronger.
Third, look at the density. This is what we call hardness. Some people say that the harder the brick, the better, the longer the better, some people also said:"My licking brick, a cow can lick for more than a year, really good!" In fact, it is not good, it is a misunderstanding. Because the purpose of licking bricks is: on the one hand, to lick cattle and sheep, on the other hand, to provide a certain amount of nutrients for cattle and sheep every day. This nutrient must reach a certain amount to be effective, or have the greatest effect. a piece5KGHeavy licking bricks for a cow to lick bricks for a year, less than a day.14Gram, cattle and sheep need so much
Fourth, look at the price. The price can basically reflect the approximate quality of a product. Generally speaking, if the quality of the product is good, I don't think it is very likely. Remember the principle that you get what you pay. I suggest: Since we talk about science and believe in science, we must use scientific products, use scientific products, and cultivate scientifically. Only by choosing good products can we achieve good benefits and maximize benefits.
Fifth, look at the brand, look at word of mouth. At present, there are many brands of licking bricks on the market, but there are not many enterprises that can really produce qualified cattle and sheep licking bricks. Please choose carefully.
