“…Tiwari et al (2014) reported a superior daily gain in male goats could be obtained by supplementation of the basal diet with 15 g mineral mixture/goat/day. Godara et al (2015) revealed that area-specific mineral supplementation improved plasma biochemical profiles and enhanced early maturity in Black Bengal goats. Beneficial effects of mineral supplementation on nutritional status and reproductive performance have been also reported in large ruminants.…”

Inadequate feed intake and nutrient supply are associated with the suboptimal reproductive performance of Kacang goats reared using a traditional tethering system in the Pariaman region of Indonesia. The objectives of this study were to (i) identify reproductive problems in tethered female Kacang goats, (ii) assess crude nutrient and mineral composition of feed consumed by tethered goats, and (iii) evaluate the beneficial effects of mineral supplementation on reproductive performance of tethered female Kacang goats. A field survey was carried out in Pariaman City and the Padang Pariaman Regency to collect data on reproductive performance as well as blood mineral and hematological profiles of tethered female Kacang goats. Forage and feed samples were collected and analyzed for dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP), and minerals (Ca, P, Mg, Fe, Cu, and Zn) contents. Feed was formulated with supplemented complete minerals in either block form or mixed with feed. A total of 15 young female Kacang goats received feed without supplement (P0, n=5), or mineral supplement with feed (P1, n=5), or in a manually prepared block lick (P2, n=5). Parameters measured included body weight, number of pregnant goats, blood mineral concentrations, hematological parameters, total protein concentrations, and progesterone concentrations. Results of the field survey showed that the age of maturity of female Kacang goats reared under a tethering system ranged between 5 and 9 months and the first kidding occurred between 12 and 23 months. The suboptimal reproductive performance of female Kacang goats raised using a tethering system was closely related to the inadequate feed intake and nutritional deficiency. Supplementation with minerals is an effective method to enhance nutritional status and health to increase pregnancy rate of tethered female Kacang goats.

“…There is a direct relationship between protein intake and BUN levels ( Szabo et al, 2005 ) observed in diets T2 and T3 of the current study: Diets containing high protein levels demonstrated significantly high BUN in birds. However, BUN levels higher than the above reference range indicate toxic urea in the liver ( Godara et al, 2015 ). CK is a type of protein responsible for producing enzymes in muscle cells and the brain.…”

“…Minerals, in addition to protein and energy, are important elements that play vital roles by serving in structural, physiological, regulatory and catalytic functions in animals [27,42]. Mineral deficiencies can have negative effects on animal health, immune system and fertility [43], and severe deficiencies can even lead to death. The inclusion of minerals in LB compensates for deficiencies in the diet to meet the requirement of the animal, especially for rumen fermentation.…”

Ruminant Lick Blocks, Particularly in China: A Review

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

A lick block (LB) is a solidified mixture of molasses, urea, minerals, filler, coagulant and binder that is supplemented to livestock mainly in relatively extensive rearing systems. It provides nutrients, such as soluble sugars, proteins, minerals and vitamins to balance dietary intake and can improve rumen fermentation and facilitate digestion and absorption of nutrients. These supplements improve livestock production, reproduction and carcass quality. In addition, LB can partially replace concentrate, serve as a delivery vehicle for additives such as enzymes and drugs and mediate the distribution of grazing livestock. This paper classifies and analyzes representative research; discusses the types, ingredients and current status of the utilization of LB; and systematically reviews the processing technology, quality assessment, influencing factors of intake, action mechanism and application. This review can provide a basis for the development, popularization and application of novel LB products.
