Parlour Block
A molasses-based mineral block formulated to provide magnesium and mineral support.
Parlour Block is a molasses-based mineral block formulated to provide dairy cows with a daily source of magnesium, helping to reduce the risk of milk fever and grass tetany.
• High in sodium to help prevent PICA and general ill-thrift while supporting milk production
• Contains calcium to support optimum milk production
• Provides essential trace elements to promote dairy cow health
• Includes vitamin E to support immune function, udder health and milk quality
• Suitable for cows grazing throughout the summer months
Each 10kg block can be easily divided into two 5kg blocks to fit into the feeding trough.
Intake will vary depending on the time spent in the milking parlour, but cows will consume approximately 150g per head per day on average.
• Costs approximately 20 cent per cow per day.
• Feeding recommendations
• Allow one 5kg block per individual parlour stall
• Do not provide another mineral or trace element source alongside this product
KEY BENEFITS
- Improves Cow Flow: It is highly palatable, acting as an excellent incentive to encourage reluctant cows to enter the milking parlour.
- Keeps Cows Satisfied: The block keeps animals occupied and content while being milked, reducing restlessness and stress in the parlour environment.
- Prevents Milk Fever & Grass Tetany: The block supplies crucial daily magnesium, making it highly suitable for cows grazing on lush grass during summer months when these metabolic issues are a risk.
- Combats PICA Disorder: It features a high sodium (salt) content explicitly formulated to prevent PICA (unusual chewing behaviors caused by mineral deficiencies) and general ill thrift.
- Optimised Yields: Active sodium levels promote higher overall milk yields.
- Calcium Fortification: Includes essential calcium, a critical component required for optimum milk production.
- Udder Health: Formulated with Vitamin E and essential trace elements to optimise immune function, which directly improves udder health and milk quality.
- Practical Feeding DesignAdaptable Sizes: The 10kg block is designed to be easily split into two 5kg blocks, allowing them to fit perfectly inside standard parlour feeding troughs.
- Controlled Intakes: While the cow's time in the parlour limits how much they can lick, average consumption naturally regulates to approximately 150g per head per day.
