DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Remove the lid. The remainder of the carton is edible.
The block should be readily accessible by all cattle so
place out a minimum of 2 weeks supply of blocks with no
more than 10 head per block.
SUITABLE FOR
Cattle need to access these blocks more than once per
day, so place blocks near camps and watering places.
In large paddocks, multiple sites will ensure free access.
Suitable for beef and dairy cattle where bloat is a
risk
To ensure a steady intake, place new replacement
blocks before the old ones are finished.
Cattle not accustomed to blocks should be trained onto
blocks by pouring molasses on top of the block.
BLOAT
Legume bloat occurs when cattle consume highly
digestible bloat prone legumes. The soluble leaf
proteins in bloated legumes produce a very stable
foam which prevents the opening of the valve
which normally releases the gas, so gases build up
in the rumen. Legume bloat can also occur with
cattle consuming Lucerne hay, but is less likely to
be acute. Burping of rumen gas occurs best when
cattle that are down are sitting on their sternum.
Alcohol ethoxylate 12A23 breaks down the stable
foam allowing the rumen to burp the gas.
