[QUOTE="kyblockhead, post: 411124, member: 3603"] Many feeding trials show that blocks can provide very consistent intake of minerals to livestock. Several medications such as Bovatec, Rumensin, CTC, Bloat Guard (poloxalene) as well as pesticides like Altosid and Rabon are available in block form. FDA approved medications require 3 years worth of feeding trials to prove consistent intake on those products occur before they are approved. The comment about wearing out a cow's tongue may be accurate regarding a salt block but I'm referring to a mineral block. I have heard more complaints about erratic intake on loose minerals than I have about blocks. Some loose mineral just isn't very palatable. [/QUOTE]
