Special Considerations:
Consumption of Sup-R-Block 2N will vary depending on quality of forage, condition of cattle or sheet, previous feeding programs and Sup-R-Block 2N feeding location. Cattle or sheet need to adapt to Sup-R-Block 2N before the correct consumption is reached. If consumption is low, examine forage quality and the block feeding location. If consumption is higher than desired, the quantity/quality of forage may need to be increased. The blocks can be placed further away from the loafing or watering area, reduce the number of blocks available to the cattle or sheep and/or switch to Sup-R-Block 2-HL.
