OKAPI Pasturemineral Balance Lick

What is OKAPI Pasturemineral Balance Lick?

The OKAPI Mineral Lick provides a natural and targeted mineral supply for horses, free from unnecessary sugar additives or flavour enhancers. Unlike conventional products, we rely on the proven formulas of our granulated mineral feed, ensuring that horses only consume minerals when their bodies truly need them. By avoiding candy-like substances and sugary adhesives, we prevent horses from licking the block purely out of taste preference. Instead, mineral intake is guided by the horse’s actual needs, avoiding excessive mineral consumption.

Our mineral licks contain the same molasses content as the granulated mineral feed, as it is essential for the granulation process. By adding water at the optimal mixing stage, the ingredients react to form a plaster-like consistency, which is then hardened using a specialised process. This structure ensures the lick is firm and durable while retaining its nutritional value.

Horses will only lick the OKAPI Mineral Lick when they have a genuine need for minerals. It is therefore possible for the block to remain untouched for an extended period if the horse’s base feed already provides sufficient nutrition. However, in horses with metabolic disorders or increased mineral needs, such as those caused by specific imbalances, the lick may be used more frequently. For this reason, we recommend offering the lick under supervision during the initial phase to ensure appropriate use.

With the OKAPI Mineral Lick, your horse receives a high-quality and natural source of essential minerals, entirely free from unnecessary additives.

Is OKAPI Pasturemineral Balance Lick suitable for my horse?

The OKAPI Mineral Lick is ideal for horses in open stables, on pasture, and in group housing. With its firm, plaster-like consistency, it is particularly robust and durable, making it perfect for outdoor use. Horses can individually lick the block according to their needs without being encouraged to consume unnecessarily or excessively. The absence of added sugars ensures that the lick is not overly appealing, so horses only access it when they have a genuine mineral requirement.

Whether in an open stable or on pasture, the OKAPI Mineral Lick provides a tailored mineral supply that seamlessly integrates into the natural behaviour of horses. In group housing, it allows each horse to independently decide when it needs minerals, without disrupting the social harmony of the herd.

Can I combine OKAPI Pasturemineral Balance Lick with other products?

Yes, the OKAPI Mineral Lick can be combined with other feed and supplement products. The lick is specifically designed so that horses consume minerals only according to their actual needs.
