Lick Bucket

When cattle is put out to pasture throughout summer without access to supplementary feed, you should make sure that they get adequate minerals and vitamins by setting up a mineral lick bucket.

The product’s benefits

During early spring, it is important to ensure that the cattle get extra magnesium, while later in summer, you can use a lick bucket with garlic if your cattle are affected by insects.

The cattle absorb the garlic oil, which is excreted in so modest amounts that only insects are affected. Neither the milk in dairy cows nor the meat in slaughtered animals will be affected by the very low amount of garlic.

A lick bucket from Jorenku has a much lower molasses content than most other buckets in the market, which means that the content does not easily dissolve in the summer heat or when it rains.
