Agri Block 10:8 Mineral Goat
Easy Intake - MolassifiedAgri-Blok™ 10:8 Range Goat Mineral Block is designed to be fed free - choice on range, or with grass / legume forages.
4-cells in stock, larger sizes are special order.
The Agri-Blok™ 10:8 Mineral Goat Block is a specialized nutritional supplement manufactured by Canadian Agri-Blend. It is designed specifically for goats to fill nutritional gaps that common forages (grass and hay) might leave behind.
The "10:8" in the name refers to the ratio of 10.0% Calcium to 8.0% Phosphorus, a critical balance for preventing health issues like urinary calculi in bucks and milk fever in does.
Key Nutritional Analysis
This block is "molassified," meaning it uses molasses to make the minerals more palatable to goats, who can be finicky eaters
| Nutrient | Amount | Role |
| Calcium (act.) | 10.0% | Bone health, milk production, and nerve function. |
| Phosphorus (act.) | 8.0% | Energy utilization and cell growth. |
| Salt (NaCl) | 13.5% | Encourages consistent intake (goats naturally crave salt). |
| Copper (act.) | 2,500 mg/kg | Crucial for goats. Supports immune system and coat health. |
| Zinc (act.) | 10,000 mg/kg | Supports hoof health and reproductive function. |
| Selenium (act.) | 30 mg/kg | Prevents White Muscle Disease; acts as an antioxidant. |
| Vitamin A | 500,000 IU/kg | Vision, growth, and immune support. |
| Vitamin D | 50,000 IU/kg | Helps with calcium absorption. |
Features & Benefits
Weather Resistant: Unlike loose minerals, these blocks are designed to withstand rain, snow, and wind without crumbling or dissolving quickly.
Free-Choice Feeding: Designed for "easy intake," meaning goats can lick the block as needed to regulate their own mineral levels.
Convenient Sizes: Usually available in a 2.5 kg (mini) block or a 25 kg (4-cell) breakaway block that can be split into four smaller pieces for different pens.
Targeted Formula: Unlike "all-purpose" livestock blocks, this contains copper levels safe for goats but deadly for sheep.
[!CAUTION]
Copper Warning: Never feed this block to sheep. Goats require high copper levels, but sheep are highly sensitive to it and can suffer from copper toxicity if they consume goat-specific minerals.
