CAUTION: USE AS DIRECTED. Consumption of selenium should not exceed 3 mg per head daily for cattle or horses or exceed 0.7 mg per head daily for sheep and goats.
Introductory Period: Following a 7 to 10 day acclimation period, average consumption should be 1 to 2 pounds per head per day for mature cattle and horses and 2 to 4 ounces for sheep and goats with
unrestricted forage supplies. Position the blocks 50 to 75 feet from loafing, feeding and watering areas. Some repositioning of blocks may be necessary as animals
become acclimated to the presence of the blocks. Move blocks closer to increase consumption; further away to decrease consumption. If overconsumption occurs for more than two weeks and repositioning of blocks does not correct the situation, remove blocks and
evaluate the overall feeding program.
DO NOT ALLOW STARVED ANIMALS FREE ACCESS TO THIS BLOCK.
Feeding Recommendations:
1. Provide 1 block per 5 to 10 head. All animals should have equal access to blocks. Timid and smaller animals need their share.
2. Place blocks where animals congregate. Locate blocks throughout the pasture at loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas. Adequate distance must be maintained between blocks to minimize crowding - 10 feet minimum.
3. Feed blocks continuously along with a plentiful source of forage and clean, fresh water. Animals should not run out of blocks.When a block is two-thirds consumed, provide a new block near.
4. Cattle and horses should consume 1 to 2 pounds per head daily based on a 1,000-pound animal. Sheep and goats should consume 2 to 4 ounces per head daily based on a 150-lb animal.
5. Consumption of this block may vary depending upon animal body condition, quality and quantity of forages, seasonal weather conditions, and most importantly, feeding locations of blocks with respect to loafing, grazing, feeding and watering areas.
6. If additional mineral and vitamin fortification is desired, provide an appropriate SWEETLIX® self-fed mineral supplement in addition to this supplement.
