iO Hobby Farm Lick Block 2kg

The iO Hobby Farm Block is a highly palatable molasses-based mineral supplement designed to support the nutritional needs of breeding, growing, and grazing livestock. Formulated with a carefully balanced blend of calcium, phosphorus, protein, and essential trace minerals, it helps address common mineral deficiencies found in pasture-based feeding systems.

Ideal for use in hobby farm and mixed livestock environments, this supplement block is suitable for cattle, sheep, goats, and horses. It is particularly beneficial for breeding stock and young growing animals, where optimal mineral intake is essential for development, fertility, and overall performance.

The inclusion of high levels of phosphorus and calcium supports strong bone development and skeletal health, while added copper, zinc, selenium, iodine, cobalt, magnesium, and vitamin A contribute to improved immunity, reproductive performance, growth rates, and general wellbeing. The molasses base enhances palatability, encouraging consistent intake across a wide range of stock classes.

Manufactured in Australia, the iO Hobby Farm Block is designed for convenience, durability, and consistent supplementation in paddock-based feeding systems.

Feeding Directions

Place blocks in paddocks near watering points or high-traffic grazing areas where animals can easily access them. Ensure an adequate number of blocks are provided so all stock can consume them freely.

Recommended Intake:

• Cattle: 100–200 g per head per day
• Sheep & Goats: 20–40 g per head per day

Placement Guide:

• Cattle: Provide 2–3 blocks per head of cattle
• Sheep: Provide 2–3 blocks per 500 sheep

Approximate consumption guide:

• One 100 kg block will last ~100 head of cattle for approximately 10 days
• One 100 kg block will last ~350 sheep for approximately 10 days

Consumption may vary depending on pasture quality, seasonal conditions, and animal requirements.
