Place the OPTIPHOS 20kg mineral block in an accessible location for free-choice consumption by livestock. Position blocks on well-drained ground or use a mineral block holder to prevent excessive weathering and wastage. Allow animals unrestricted access to the block, as consumption will vary based on individual mineral deficiency levels and forage quality. Monitor intake regularly and replace blocks when worn down to maintain consistent mineral supplementation. Tips: Placement of one block per 20-30 head is generally recommended, though this may vary depending on pasture quality and deficiency severity in your area. Keep separate mineral blocks for different livestock species — never allow sheep to access cattle mineral blocks due to copper toxicity risks. Position blocks away from water sources and high-traffic areas to reduce contamination and ensure all animals can access them safely.
