Pica-LYX
Targeted nutritional support for cattle showing common signs of PICA
Pica-LYX mineral lick is formulated for cattle that lick or consume soil, stones, briars and other unusual materials. This behaviour, known as PICA, can indicate an underlying nutritional imbalance.
Common causes of PICA in cattle include:
• Low sodium
• Low phosphorus
• Low fibre
Pica-LYX has been developed with these nutritional factors in mind. It can be fed to help prevent PICA or support cattle already displaying signs of the condition.
Feeding recommendations
• Allow 120 to 150g per head per day. One 20kg bucket will feed approximately 15 cows for 10 days.
• Place close to a water source to encourage intake.
• Available in a 20kg bucket.
KEY BENEFITS
- Addresses the Root Causes of Pica: Pica occurs when cattle chew or eat non-nutritive objects like stones, soil, briars, or ditches due to nutritional deficiencies. PICA-LYX is intentionally formulated with high levels of sodium and phosphorus to correct these core deficiencies.
- Dual Action Prevention & Treatment: It works proactively to stop pica from developing in the herd, and acts as an active treatment to correct the behaviour if cattle are already licking or consuming stones.
- Comprehensive Nutrient Delivery: The bucket contains a balanced variety of essential minerals and trace elements, making it an excellent all-around supplement to combat general nutritional stress and support livestock well-being.
- Controlled and Efficient Intake: Designed to be highly palatable, it allows cattle to self-regulate their intake on a "little and often" basis. The recommended feeding rate is 120–150g per head per day, with one 20kg bucket typically feeding approximately 15 cows for 10 days when placed close to a water source.
