Winslow Blocks

Winslow Molassed Blocks are a convenient, cost effective way to supplement the diet of stock that might be lacking in trace elements, vitamins and major minerals.

Winslow Blocks contain molasses which animals find very appealing. Molasses encourages the uptake of essential major minerals like magnesium and calcium along with vital trace elements.

Winslow Molassed Mineral Blocks should be considered whenever forage provides sub-optimal levels of minerals, trace elements and vitamins.

Winslow Molassed Feed Blocks should be considered whenever there is a gap between the needs of the animal and what the forage can supply. A gap can emerge when stock are very productive or when forage quality is low e.g. mature summer grass in a drought or straw.

Winslow Blocks are proudly New Zealand made and have been formulated to accommodate the nutritional and climatic challenges faced by our livestock.

Easy to use and no wastage, Winslow Blocks are available in 50 kg plastic tubs and 500 kg master blocks.

Feeding Instructions
Allow one block per 50 head of stock. Provide enough blocks to prevent crowding and ensure shy feeders get their share. If block becomes dry, site near drinking water and douse regularly with water. Intakes will vary according to feeds available and individual cow requirements. See the PDF Flyer below for expected average daily intakes Always provide unlimited drinking water and adequate quantities of roughage.

See the flyer for theTypical Analysis of each block.

Cattle Wintering Block (7.5% magnesium)

Specifically formulated for dry dairy cows, these blocks help to deliver essential magnesium, trace elements and vitamins at a time when other supplementation avenues may be impractical. Contains elevated levels of iodine to counter the effects of feeding brassicas - a worthwhile supplement during late pregnancy for cows on grass or kale.

Cattle Mineral Block (2.5% magnesium)

A useful general-purpose mineral, trace element and vitamin supplement for dairy cows, suckler cows, beef stores and replacement heifers. Designed to help prevent deficiencies which can affect the health and performance of your stock. Ideal when forage supply and quality is insufficient to support production level required.

Cattle High Energy Feed Block (12 MJ ME/kg DM)

With added energy and protein from soyabean meal and rumen protected fat, High Energy Feed Blocks are a useful complement to roughage when it cannot support the production required. A high specification choice to help keep young stock moving towards weight targets.

Cattle High Magnesium Mineral Block (12.5% magnesium)

With 12.5% magnesium from high quality Nutrimag combined with the palatability and enhanced magnesium uptake from sugars, these blocks can make a signifi cant contribution to magnesium supplementation. Use as part of a dual approach for high risk situations. If you use blocks already, check out the magnesium level in your current high magnesium blocks.

Cattle Protein Block (20% crude protein)

Low protein roughage such as straw, hay and manure grazing may not supply suffi cient protein for good rumen function. Enriched with additional nitrogen which rumen bugs use to make protein, Cattle Protein Blocks can improve the utilisation and intake of such feeds and improve animal performance.

Cattle Wintering Block with Biotin (7.5% magnesium)

Combines all the benefits of the standard Wintering Block with the addition of Biotin.
