Gold 120 Selenium Salt Block — 20kg | Canadian Agri-Blend

Not all salt blocks are created equal. The Gold 120 Selenium Salt Block from Canadian Agri-Blend is built on the exclusive Agri-Block™ technology — delivering a superior mineral block with distinct colour, texture, and hardness that cattle prefer and consume more consistently than standard compressed blocks. And at its core is something that sets it apart from every plain trace mineral block on the shelf: high-level selenium supplementation at 120mg/kg.

Why Selenium — and Why Gold 120?

Selenium is one of the most critical — and most commonly deficient — trace minerals in Canadian livestock. Western Canadian soils are notoriously selenium-poor, which means pasture and hay grown in these regions often cannot meet cattle's selenium requirements. The consequences of selenium deficiency are serious and expensive: white muscle disease in calves, poor immune function, reduced conception rates, retained placentas, and weak newborns.

Gold 120 delivers selenium at a level specifically designed to address these deficiencies — making it the right choice for producers in selenium-deficient regions who need more than a standard trace mineral block can provide.

Why Agri-Block Gold 120?

• High selenium at 120mg/kg — targeted supplementation for selenium-deficient regions and herds with elevated selenium requirements, including breeding stock, cows in late gestation, and calves at risk of white muscle disease
• Exclusive Agri-Block™ technology — a proprietary manufacturing process that produces a block with superior colour, texture, and hardness compared to traditional compressed salt blocks; the result is better palatability, more consistent intake, and less waste from crumbling
• Complete trace mineral package — zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and cobalt alongside selenium, delivering comprehensive micronutrient support in every lick
• Salt as the delivery vehicle — cattle naturally seek salt, ensuring voluntary, consistent mineral intake without training or mixing
• Free-choice, self-regulated — cattle consume what they need based on their individual requirements
• Weather-resistant 20kg block — durable formula built for outdoor pasture and range use
• Canadian-made quality — manufactured by Canadian Agri-Blend to consistent quality standards

Ideal For

• Beef cattle in selenium-deficient regions — Western Canada's selenium-poor soils make high-selenium supplementation essential for most cow-calf and stocker operations
• Drought conditions — drought-stressed pasture is even lower in trace minerals including selenium; maintaining a high-selenium program during dry periods protects herd health and reproductive performance when animals are already under stress
• Cow-calf operations — selenium is critical for calf health at birth; selenium-adequate cows produce calves with stronger immune systems, better vigour, and lower risk of white muscle disease
• Breeding season — selenium, copper, and zinc directly influence conception rates, embryo survival, and bull fertility; consistent intake before and during breeding pays dividends at pregnancy check
• Late gestation — selenium requirements spike in the final trimester; Gold 120 ensures cows arrive at calving in optimal mineral status
• Growing and backgrounding cattle — selenium supports immune function and growth efficiency in developing stock
• Year-round mineral programs — the most convenient and cost-effective way to maintain a high-selenium baseline across any beef operation

Why Use It

• ✔ Prevents white muscle disease — selenium deficiency is the primary cause of white muscle disease in calves; Gold 120 provides the selenium cows need to protect their calves before and after birth
• ✔ Boosts immune function — selenium is a frontline immune mineral; well-supplemented cattle recover faster from illness and have lower susceptibility to respiratory and metabolic disease
• ✔ Improves reproductive performance — selenium deficiency is linked to retained placentas, poor conception rates, and weak newborns; Gold 120 addresses the root cause
• ✔ Superior palatability — Agri-Block™ technology produces a block cattle prefer, ensuring consistent intake and better mineral delivery than standard blocks
• ✔ Less waste — the harder, more durable block resists crumbling and excessive weathering, lasting longer in the field
• ✔ Zero feeding labour — place the block, walk away; cattle self-regulate intake around the clock
• ✔ Exceptional value — at $25.95 for a 20kg block, high-selenium trace mineral supplementation costs pennies per animal per day

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Gold 120 different from a standard trace mineral salt block?

Two things: selenium level and block technology. Gold 120 delivers selenium at 120mg/kg — significantly higher than standard trace mineral blocks — making it appropriate for selenium-deficient regions and herds with elevated requirements. The Agri-Block™ manufacturing process also produces a harder, more palatable block that cattle consume more consistently and that lasts longer in the field.

Why is selenium so important for beef cattle in Western Canada?

Western Canadian soils are naturally low in selenium, which means forages grown in these regions are often selenium-deficient. Cattle grazing these pastures or consuming locally grown hay are at high risk of selenium deficiency — which can cause white muscle disease in calves, retained placentas, poor conception rates, and reduced immune function. High-selenium supplementation is not optional in most Western Canadian beef operations — it's essential.

Is this safe for all cattle?

Gold 120 is formulated for beef cattle. Selenium is an essential mineral but can be toxic at very high levels — the free-choice, self-regulated block format is designed to prevent overconsumption. Consult your veterinarian if you have concerns about selenium levels in your specific herd or region.

How many cattle will one 20kg block service?

Approximately 10–15 head of cattle, depending on size, production stage, and the selenium content of their base diet. Cows in late gestation or under drought stress may consume more.
