Many farms only care about two things: one is cost-effective, and the other is sheep and cattle lick. In fact, what attracts sheep and cattle to lick is the salt taste of the licking brick, which is salty enough for sheep and cattle to like. However, in addition to the sodium oxide that lures sheep and cattle to lick, the key is that the various mineral components in the lick brick have the effect of health care. However, many low-cost licking bricks only contain salt and do not add or contain very little mineral components. Such licking bricks are pure salt bricks, and sheep and cattle cannot supplement minerals after eating.

 

Some farms only feed licking bricks during the barren grass season. In the lush grass season, they feel that sheep and cattle need sufficient mineral nutrition and refuse to feed licking bricks again. In fact, because of regional differences, the mineral content of the soil layer in each region is uneven, and the mineral content of different forage is also different. Sheep and cattle may not be able to obtain sufficient mineral nutrients according to the forage.

 

In addition, although sheep and cattle can store a certain amount of nutrients in the body, the daily basic metabolism will consume a part of the nutrients. People's investigation found that when they were first fed with licking bricks, it took about ten days. The amount of licking bricks by sheep and cattle was very large. After that, the amount of licking gradually decreased and turned to all normal intake. Therefore, the farm should continue to feed the licking brick for a long time to give full play to the unique effect of the licking brick.
