Aim for a consumption rate of 125 g medicated mineral mix per head per day which will provide the recommended dose of 200 mg lasalocid sodium/animal/day.

- Introduce a 1:1 or 2:1 (Ca:P) free choice mineral with salt two weeks before introducing Sup-R-Growth Block with ‘Bovatec’. Ensure cattle have consumed roughage before introducing Sup-R-Growth Block for the first time.

- If cattle run out of Sup-R-Growth Block with ‘Bovatec’, observe intake closely for three days after replacing the block, to prevent over consumption.

- If consumption is too low, bring blocks closer to the watering and resting areas. In large pastures, blocks should be available in more than one location.

- If consumption is higher than desired, move blocks further away from the watering and resting areas, and/or reduce the number of blocks available to cattle.
