Lodge Lick Brick is a pre-mixed product of major minerals and trace elements, which is formed into blocks 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 (1.5 tons per square centimeter or 200 bar). Under such pressure, the various ingredients in powder form are squeezed into hard blocks like stones, which is why Lodge gets its name.
SeleniumIt is a component of glutathione peroxidase, which can prevent the accumulation of lipid peroxides in the body and protect cell membranes and mitochondria. It is an essential element for the conversion of methionine into cysteine.ESynergy, antioxidant effect in animals, vitaminEThe absorption and storage have a promoting effect, and also participate in amino acid metabolism in the body, which plays an important role in protecting the body's stable immune function, and can protect the myocardium and maintain the normal growth and fertility of cattle and sheep.
Selenium deficiency can cause liver necrosis, myocardial degeneration and pancreatic atrophy, so that young animals appear nutritional muscle atrophy, white myopathy, lambs, calves are the most common, but also the most serious. For adult cattle and sheep, it is manifested as reproductive dysfunction, reduced fecundity, and severe weight loss.
There are large areas of selenium deficiency in Northeast China, Inner Mongolia, Shandong and Hebei provinces, and selenium supplementation should be paid attention.

Rocky Lick BrickWhat is it?
Lodge Lick Brick is a pre-mixed product of major minerals and trace elements, which is formed into blocks 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 (1.5 tons per square centimeter or 200 bar). Under such pressure, the various ingredients in powder form are squeezed into hard blocks like stones, which is why Lodge gets its name.
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.

Dairy goat 20gm 8kg<2
Meat goat 10gm 4kg<1
Goat Lamb 5gm 2kg<0.5
Buffalo 35gm 13kg<3
How to use it most effectively?
Livestock should lick the bricks as much as possible. For every 5-10 adult cattle or 20 sheep, the farmer should place at least one licking brick.
Lick bricks should be placed as close as possible to water sources and where livestock frequently congregate.
If the placed licking bricks are not enough, it will lead to competition between livestock, and the weaker livestock may not get enough licking, resulting in insufficient 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
When hanging bricks, pay attention to using thick ropes. If thin iron wire is used, it will be pulled into the bricks for a long 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.
