It is manufactured through the evaporation of the moisture in its raw materials, molasses mainly. On account of its composition, being low in fibers, with a neutral PH and a humidity that does not exceed the 5%, several different ingredients are easily added and passed on without denaturing them; besides, it is scarcely hygroscopic.

  • Its high sugar content from the molasses provides an important supply of energy, fermentable by the rumen´s microflora.
  • The addition of bypass fats provides energy which is usable at intestinal level.
  • Improves the digestibility of the fodder.
  • Meets the macro and micro mineral requirements.
  • Its notorious hardness and resistance guarantee that it is eaten by licking.

  • Amount of animals

    A larger quantity of blocks offered will result in more motivation for eating.

    In order to reach maximum intake, one block every ten animals is recommended. If the minimum intake or about the minimum intake is the goal, then, one block every 30 animals is recommended.

    It is advisable that blocks are displayed apart from one another.

  • Weather conditions

    In the event that temperatures rise above the 86°F (30°C), it is advisable that blocks are displayed in the shade.

    Under high temperatures, eating is stimulated by the display of blocks near the troughs or drinking water. Therefore, it is recommended that blocks are laid out away from these water sources, in order to keep the intake metered.

  • Amount and quality of the fodder the sheep are being fed with

    In areas under differed grazing or with scarce pastures, greater intake will be required, while in those endowed with abundant green grass the intake is considerably lower.

    Molasses Blocks are an important tool to direct the grazing to those preferred areas.
