Mineral Salt Blocks
Lack of sodium can be a production limiting issue. It is easily fixed with salt.
Summit Multimineral Salt Block 20kg: New Zealand’s number one selling salt block. Multimineral Salt Block provides essential trace minerals (Cu, Zn, Co, I, Se) with salt as a carrier. The blocks can be used all year round with all stock classes except Texel sheep (as copper supplements can be toxic to Texel’s). Summit Iodine Salt Block has no added copper and is suitable for Texel sheep.
Summit Littlix Salt Block 2.5kg: The same formulation as Summit Multimineral Salt Block but in a small 2.5kg block. Ideal for use with a small number of animals and where salt licks need to be spread out to prevent smothering in sheep flocks. Littlix can also be purchased in a Twinlix pack.
Summit Copper for Cattle Salt Block 20kg: A simplified multimineral block containing an increased level of copper specific for cattle. Sheep access should be excluded to avoid copper toxicity. The blocks can be used all year round, especially following Zn treatments, to supplement copper in the diet.
Summit Magnesium Salt Block 20kg: Provides magnesium with essential trace minerals (Co, I, Se) using salt as a carrier. The blocks can be used with all stock classes. Magnesium deficiency is most common in late winter and spring, causing grass staggers and milk fever.
Summit Zinc Salt Block 20kg: Provides additional zinc with essential trace minerals (Co, I, Se) using salt as a carrier. The block is specifically designed for use 1-2 months in advance of the typical FE spore danger period through until the danger period is over, providing additional zinc in the diet prior to zinc treatment. Summit Zinc Salt Block is not a substitute for zinc FE treatment. Additional zinc may also be beneficial for hoof health.
Summit Iodine Salt Block with Zinc 20kg: Provides iodine and zinc with trace minerals (Co, Se, Fe) as dietary supplements using salt as a carrier. Iodine is essential for development and growth. Zinc is important in hoof health and general wellbeing. The blocks are suitable for all stock classes and are best used from autumn to spring. As they don’t contain added copper, Summit Iodine Salt Block is recommended for use with Texel sheep.
Salt Only Blocks
