Abstract
A salt lick is disclosed comprising a compressed block of sodium chloride into which zinc oxide is incorporated to prevent symptoms of zinc deficiency in cattle, sheep and other animals using it. Sulphur and trace elements (copper, manganese and cobalt) may additionally be included in the compressed mixture.
Description
The present invention concerns a method of forming a zinc ‘•*4 oxychloride containing salt lick for livestock.
The part played by trace elements in feeding livestock is well known. A deficiency thereof may result in serious and event fatal disorders. In particular zinc, by virtue of its numerous and varied interventions in the enzymatic system, plays a part in the pathogenesis of certain ailments.
The pathology regarding zinc deficiency is dominated by skin ailments: parakeratosis in pigs and alopecia in cattle.
These deficiencies in regard to keratogenesis are revealed by micro-ulcerations, which are slow and difficult to cure and which are sometimes the cause of sores which do not heal over. The following may be mentioned, as examples of the known specific symptoms: disorders of the teguments and organis such as hair, nails, teeth or feathers, skin wrinkles ulcers, failure of wounds to to heal up, alopecia, tenderness and deformation of the horns and twisted hooves.
It will be appreciated therefore, that, in the event of podal localisation of such disorders, the zinc deficiency promotes direct infection by pathogenic germs and prevents healing of wounds. It is therefore logical to envisage an active role for zinc in the prophylaxis of disorders of the feet of ruminants.
Recent works have confirmed for example that a regular zinc diet supplement results in a very mahked improvement in the condition of animals suffering from foot-rot, with the lameness symptoms rapidly disappearing. Other experiments have shown the favourable influence of such a diet supplement on the effectiveness of treatments for such disorders by vaccination.
The practical use of such a supplement encounters many obstacles :
-the daily doses of zinc which the animals must ingest have an unfavourable influence on the palatability of the foodstuffs in which they can be incorporated:
-the collective nature of this supplement is incompatible with the method of distributing foodstuffs, which is generally employed;
-the necessity of having distribution means on the pasture and in the stable.
The applicants have perfected a method of forming a salt lick containing amounts of zinc oxychloride which are adapted to complementation in free service.
- 4 According to the invention, this method comprises forming an intimate powdered mixture principally consisting of sodium chloride having a water content of less than 1.5% by weight, and containing from 1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the mixture, of zinc oxide, and compacting the mixture into block form under sufficient pressure to form zinc oxychloride in situ. As will be seen the characteristic of this invention is the in situ formation of zinc oxychloride, the setting of Which permits adequate solidification of the mixture to form a block.
The mixture used to form a block in accordance with this invention may also be complemented by the incorporation of other elements (for example mineral macro and trace elements), so as to provide a complementation which is adapted to the necessities in respect of rationing of the animals. Typical of such other elements are sulfur, preferably added in amounts of from 1-10% by weight, and trace elements such as copper, manganese and/or cobalt.
By way of example, the applicants produced lick blocks in accordance with the following formulae; each mixture was compacted under sufficient pressure to form zinc oxychloride in situ and to bind the mixture into a coherent block:
EXAMPLE 1
Salt (sodium chloride) 97.8%
Zinc Oxide 2.15%
EXAMPLE 2
Sodium chloride 93.85%
Zinc oxide 2.15%
Sulphur 4%
EXAMPLE 3
Sodium chloride 91.85%
Zinc oxide 2.15%
Sulphur 4% trace elements (Cu,Mn,Co) 2%
The applicants confirmed that these blocks hold together excellently well and that their consumption by the livestock is as follows :
- Cattle : from 30 to 50g/day
- Sheep : from 5 to lOg/day respectively corresponding to a daily ingestion of zinc of 700 and 130mg. which is indeed in accordance with the amounts required.
Claims (6)
1. A method of forming a salt lick for livestock which comprises forming an intimate powdered mixture principally consisting of sodium chloride having a water content of less 5 than 1.5% by weight, and containing from 1-10% by weight, based on the weight of the mixture, of zinc oxide, and compacting the mixture into block form under sufficient pressure to form zinc oxychloride in situ.
2. A method according to claim 1, wherein said mixture 10 also contains from 1-10% by weight of sulphur.
3. A method according to claim 1 or 2, wherein, said mixture also contains one or more trace elements.
4. A method according to claim 3, wherein said trace elements is or are selected from copper, manganese and 15 cobalt.
5. A method substantially as hereinbefore described with reference to the examples.
6. A salt lick when made by a method claimed in any one of the preceding claims.
