The Role of Various Trace Elements in Rocky Lick Brick Calcium is a catalyst for nerve function, muscle contraction, promote growth and development, and prevent rickets. Phosphorus enhances reproductive ability, solves pica, and improves feed conversion rate. Magnesium (Mg) can ensure the normal contraction function of muscle, promote healthy nerve end growth, and prevent heat stress; Zinc (Zn) element can help promote appetite, hair shiny to improve the body's antioxidant capacity, increase the hardness of the hoof shell, prevent hoof disease. Copper (Cu) is an essential element to ensure the normal development and high yield of livestock. It is a component of certain enzymes or other catalysts involved in hematopoiesis, osteogenesis, and pigmentation of skin and hair. The requirement of copper in dry matter per kilogram of diet is: cattle 4~10mg, pigs 5~10mg, sheep 7~10mg. Iron (Fe) is an important component of hemoglobin and many enzymes involved in the transport of oxygen and cellular respiration in the body. When iron deficiency in the diet, the most typical symptom is anemia, manifested as loss of appetite, slow growth, visible mucosal whitening, disease resistance is weak, tongue papilla atrophy, calves are more sensitive to iron deficiency than adult cattle, loss of appetite when iron deficiency, rough coat color, mild diarrhea. Cobalt promotes the growth of rumen microorganisms and promotes the absorption of vitamin B12. Iodine is an essential element for the production of thyroid hormones. Manganese increases joint, muscle and bone density. In addition to the diet, the use of Rocky licking bricks can ensure that your cattle supplement individual differences, meet the needs of various trace elements and minerals, improve feed conversion rate, improve health index, and improve pasture efficiency.
"My cattle often lick the fence in the cowshed or bite the fence in the pasture. Is there something missing?"
"My cow sweats a lot and foams at the end of every activity. Is it short of something?"
"Lick brick, is not to salt as a carrier, containing a variety of trace elements of the 'licking block'?, hanging in the barn for cattle free lick, to supplement the individual differences!"
If your knowledge of brick licking and cattle reaches this level, congratulations, you have started! But do you know why these are?
Cattle ruminants, born with licking behavior, will find a source of salt according to their own needs. They tend to lick or chew when they are salt-starved, such as on fences, rocks, the ground, or roads sprinkled with snow-melting agents. The appetite of cattle and sheep will change: growth stagnation, dark hair. Cattle and sheep that are severely salt-deficient can become listless and sometimes exhausted. These cows have difficulty in muscle control and exhibit an unstable gait.
Why can salt deficiency cause so many problems? Let's start with the composition and function of salt.
Salt consists of two elements, Na and Cl, and is usually white or yellow in color. It is as important as water and oxygen in sustaining life, as it plays an essential role in transmitting signals through the nervous system (which also includes muscle stimulation). Salt also plays an important role in maintaining fluid balance and is used to maintain a certain blood pressure.
Na, K and Cl maintain the fluid balance inside and outside the cells of the body, and play a role in maintaining the acid-base balance of the body. Na is involved in the uptake of nutrients such as sugars and amino acids. An excessively low Na content therefore reduces the body's ability to utilize useful proteins and energy. To maintain the pH in the blood, Cl is exchanged between plasma and red blood cells. This process is known as "chlorine transfer". Cl is more important for the production of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and is necessary for normal digestion.
Licking soil, licking urine, eating plastic and other symptoms
Increase the number of licking bricks. Licking disappears obviously for about one month.
Bovine salt deficiency symptoms: licking objects, loss of appetite, rough and dull hair, etc.
Cattle salt excess performance: digestive disorders, salt spasm, but as long as there is sufficient water, overdose rarely occurs.
Many people know how to use licking bricks, and many people follow what others do, but they don't know the real purpose. What is a professional brick licking? Today, I will take Rocky brick licking as an example to tell you.

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.
Lick brickThe amount of intake depends on a number 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)
