Loose Licks

Livestock Supplementation with loose licks

• Loose licks are the most cost efficient method of supplementation for livestock grazing in a paddock on natural or improved pasture, forage crops or stubble.
• They may contain some rumen degradable protein eg urea, and some protein meals that are high in by-pass protein, such as copra and cotton seed meal.
• Loose licks may also contain macro minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, magnesium, sulphur and salt, as well as micro-elements like copper, zinc, selenium, cobalt, manganese, iodine, plus vitamins A, D and E.
• Loose licks are manufactured with varying amounts of these elements to suit a wide range of stock grazing on different types of country to balance deficiencies in paddock feed within varying seasonal conditions. 
• Successful feeding of loose licks can increase the digestion and performance of stock grazing low protein and high fibre diets.
• Available in easy to handle 25kg bags and bulk bags are available on request

When to Supplement?

• Dry feed supplementation is commenced when the producer decides that livestock are not to lose any more weight
• Supplementation may begin when dietary protein in available grass falls to below 6%. Nutritional value of paddock grasses decrease as plants mature.
• One of the main points in using loose licks is to begin supplementing before livestock start to slip in condition
