Mineral deficiencies cost Australian livestock producers an estimated $200 million annually in lost production. Lick blocks are one of the most practical and cost-effective ways to supplement grazing livestock in Queensland and NSW.
Types of Lick Blocks
Loose licks offer the highest flexibility. Compressed blocks are convenient for set-and-forget supplementation. High-mineral blocks include trace elements including copper, zinc, selenium, and cobalt.

Placement
Place lick blocks at least 200m from water points to force cattle to walk and improve pasture utilisation. Monitor consumption rate — significantly high or low consumption can indicate mineral deficiency or imbalance.
