If cattle often eat wool, cinder, wall soil, plastic, bricks, rags and other things, is the occurrence of pica performance. Pica is a metabolic disorder, abnormal taste a very complex syndrome of multiple diseases. Most of the animal body in the lack of mineral elements, such as the lack of calcium, sodium, iron, cobalt, sulfur and other causes.
Cows often.Feed wool, cinder, wall soil, plastic, brick, ragAnd so on, is happeningPicaThe performance. Pica is a metabolic disorder, abnormal taste a very complex syndrome of multiple diseases. Most of the mineral elements in the animal body is insufficient, suchCaused by lack of calcium, sodium, iron, cobalt, sulfur, etc.In addition, the enclosure is too crowded, poor ventilation, lighting, protein, especially some essential amino acids and vitamin deficiency, imbalance between various nutrients, lack of drinking water or some parasitic diseases are also inducing factors.

Pica is not an independent disease, which is characterized by licking foreign substances everywhere that are usually considered to have no nutritional value and should not be eaten. Can occur in a variety of animals, more in winter and early spring feeding cattle, sheep and so on. The initial stage of the disease is often characterized by indigestion, followed by abnormal taste and abnormal eating symptoms. Then there are licking, swallowing, biting fecal contaminated forage grass or bedding soil, licking food trough, eating hair, plastic, cinders, wall soil, bricks, rags and other foreign bodies. Sick animals are initially more sensitive and prone to panic, and then gradually slow to respond; their skin is dry, their elasticity is reduced, their fur is coarse and dull, and they are gradually emaciated and anemic.
Pica is mostly chronic, with varying durations, and some even up1~2Year. Although it is easy to diagnose from clinical symptoms, it is difficult to determine the cause. Comprehensive analysis should be conducted from various aspects such as feeding management and feed analysis to find out the cause in order to effectively prevent and treat it.
To prevent this disease, we must first strengthen feeding management and give full-price feed, especially pay attention to the content and proportion of protein, vitamins and minerals; at the same time, provide sufficient drinking water, maintain reasonable ventilation and lighting in the house, do a good job in environmental sanitation, and regularly expel internal and external parasites to reduce the occurrence of stress reactions.Treatment should be symptomatic medication. Increase the free licking of licking bricks and supplement the phosphorus, calcium, zinc, magnesium, iron, cobalt, iodine, manganese, selenium,Sodium and other mineral trace elements interact with each other, which plays a very important role in preventing and treating pica, improving the health index, reproduction rate and milk yield of dairy cows.In addition, in winter and spring, more grass and hay are fed, grain sprouts, malt, yeast and other high vitamin-containing feed are added, and the effective supply of tryptophan in the diet is ensured, which has a good effect on preventing this disease.

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:Pica Disappears (Chewing Wood,Licking hair,Licking urine,plastic gnawing);
4: enhance fertility and fetal health;
5: improve the quality of fur, improve food digestion, improve feed utilization;

It should be noted that the most common occurrence of bovine ectoparasites is bovine lice, which is caused by bovine blood lice, bovine jaw lice and bovine hair lice that are parasitic on the body surface of cattle. Various lice have host and site specificity. Cattle lice are often parasitic on the back, neck, shoulders and tail of cattle. When the number is large, it is distributed to the whole body. Factors such as intensive feeding, poor hygiene of livestock houses and cattle, high humidity and hair changing in autumn and winter are conducive to the growth and reproduction of lice and can promote the spread of infection. At the onset of the disease, the diseased cattle showed restlessness and feeding and rest were affected. Cattle due to body itching, often lick and suck affected parts, can cause hair fetishism, over time, the formation of hair balls in the stomach, affecting appetite and digestive function, as well as infection of other serious diseases. Hairy lice in the case of severe infection itching intense, suffering from cattle performance restless, friction, affecting feeding and rest.

Strengthen feeding management and environmental disinfection, cattle cleaning and other work. Regular inspection, timely isolation of diseased cattle with cattle lice.
