Urea Molasses Mineral Lick Block Manufacturing
Dairy cows and grazing goats fed primarily on low-grade wheat straw and dry grass suffer from severe protein, trace mineral, and microbial deficits in their rumen. Pashu Poshan Lick Blocks mixes dark sugarcane molasses, controlled feed-grade urea, dicalcium phosphate, salt, and binding clay in a heavy paddle mixer, compacting the stiff paste into solid rectangular blocks under hydraulic pressure. When tied inside cattle sheds, cows and buffaloes lick the firm block gradually, supplying rumen microbes with a slow, continuous trickle of non-protein nitrogen and minerals. The steady nutrient trickle dramatically enhances the animal's ability to digest fibrous crop straw, raising butterfat percentages and improving conception rates. Dairy owners prefer lick blocks over powdered mineral mixes because dominant animals cannot monopolize the ration, and zero feed is trampled in dust. Establishing a mineral mixture block making business supplies an economical, shelf-stable nutritional supplement that boosts dairy productivity.
