OLSSON HIGH SULPHUR 16% 20KG BLOCKS FOR CATTLE & SHEEP OLS0614 at a glance

Olsson’s 16% High Sulphur provides Sulphur and minerals that are essential in developing bacteria in the rumen.

Sulphur should be available to livestock at all times, as it is important to the growth and survival of fungi in the rumen, which are essential in assisting the rumen bacteria in deriving essential nutrients from dry and fibrous feeds.

Sulphur is also critical when offering high urea supplementation to encourage optimum rumen flora.

Place one OLSSON High Sulphur block per 10–20 animals in an accessible location away from water troughs. Allow cattle and sheep free-choice access to the block, where animals will consume it at their own regulated rate based on hardness and palatability. Monitor consumption regularly, as excessive intake may indicate a dietary deficiency not being met by the block alone. Ensure blocks are replaced when worn down to maintain consistent supplementation. Tips: Position blocks in sheltered areas where all animals can reach them equally, and rotate placement if certain animals are being excluded. Remember that lick blocks do not supply significant energy — if energy deficiency is the primary issue, supplementary feeding may be necessary alongside the block. Keep blocks away from muddy areas to prevent contamination and maintain palatability.
