20kg Trace Mineralized Salt Block — Canadian Agri-Blend

Every livestock operation needs a solid mineral foundation. Canadian Agri-Blend's Trace Mineralized Salt Block is the simple, reliable, cost-effective way to ensure your cattle and horses receive the essential trace minerals they need every single day — without complicated feeding programs, without daily labour, and without compromise.

Why Trace Minerals Matter More Than You Think

Salt is the one mineral livestock will actively seek out — which makes a trace mineralized salt block one of the smartest delivery systems in livestock nutrition. By combining sodium chloride (the mineral animals crave) with a complete trace mineral package, every lick delivers zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and cobalt directly to the animal that needs it most.

Trace mineral deficiencies are often invisible until they become expensive — showing up as poor conception rates, weak immune responses, slow growth, rough coats, and hoof problems. A consistent trace mineralized salt program prevents these issues before they start.

Why Canadian Agri-Blend Trace Mineralized Salt Block?

• Complete trace mineral package — zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and cobalt work together to support immune function, reproductive performance, bone development, thyroid health, and coat and hoof quality
• Salt as the delivery vehicle — animals naturally seek salt, ensuring consistent, voluntary mineral intake without training or mixing
• Free-choice, self-regulated — livestock consume what they need based on their individual requirements; no overfeeding, no waste
• Weather-resistant 20kg block — durable formula withstands outdoor conditions without excessive crumbling or dissolving
• Practical size — 20kg services approximately 10–15 head of cattle, making it easy to manage across multiple paddocks or pastures
• Canadian-made quality — manufactured by Canadian Agri-Blend to consistent quality standards for reliable mineral delivery

Ideal For

• Beef cattle on pasture or range — year-round trace mineral supplementation for cow-calf pairs, stockers, and breeding stock
• Dairy cattle — supports milk production quality, reproductive cycling, and immune health
• Horses — provides essential trace minerals often missing from hay and pasture-based diets
• Drought conditions — drought-stressed animals have elevated mineral requirements; stressed pasture is also lower in trace minerals, making supplementation even more critical during dry periods
• Breeding season — copper, zinc, and manganese are directly linked to conception rates, embryo survival, and bull fertility; consistent mineral intake before and during breeding pays dividends at pregnancy check
• Growing and developing stock — zinc and manganese support bone development and cartilage formation in young animals
• Year-round mineral programs — the most cost-effective way to maintain a baseline trace mineral program across any livestock operation

Why Use It

• ✔ Prevents costly deficiency problems — poor reproduction, weak immunity, slow growth, and hoof issues are often trace mineral problems in disguise; a $16.95 salt block is far cheaper than the vet bills and lost production they cause
• ✔ Zero feeding labour — place the block, walk away; animals self-regulate intake around the clock
• ✔ Supports reproductive efficiency — copper and zinc are critical for conception, embryo development, and bull sperm quality; consistent intake before breeding season improves pregnancy rates
• ✔ Boosts immune function — zinc and copper are frontline immune minerals; well-mineralized animals recover faster from illness and have lower susceptibility to respiratory and metabolic disease
• ✔ Improves hoof and coat quality — zinc deficiency is a leading cause of hoof problems and rough, dull coats in cattle and horses
• ✔ Supports thyroid health — iodine is essential for thyroid function, which regulates metabolism, growth, and reproductive cycling
• ✔ Exceptional value — at $16.95 for a 20kg block servicing 10–15 head, trace mineral supplementation costs pennies per animal per day

Frequently Asked Questions

What trace minerals are in this salt block?

The Canadian Agri-Blend Trace Mineralized Salt Block contains zinc, copper, manganese, iodine, and cobalt — the core trace minerals essential for livestock health, reproduction, immunity, and growth.

How is a trace mineralized salt block different from plain white salt?

Plain white salt provides only sodium and chloride. A trace mineralized salt block delivers the same sodium chloride animals crave, plus a complete package of trace minerals that pasture and hay alone cannot reliably provide. It's the same convenience with significantly more nutritional value.

How many cattle will one 20kg block service?

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

Do horses need trace mineralized salt?

Yes — horses on hay or pasture-based diets are frequently deficient in zinc, copper, and iodine. A trace mineralized salt block is one of the simplest ways to address these gaps without adding complexity to a feeding program.

Should I use this during drought?

Absolutely. Drought-stressed pasture is lower in trace minerals than healthy grass, and stressed animals have elevated mineral requirements. Maintaining a trace mineral program during drought is one of the most cost-effective things you can do to protect herd health and reproductive performance.
