Pica-Cure

Are you concerned that your cattle are licking/consuming stones or briars??

PICA is a condition where cows are observed eating stones, briars, and chewing on anything they can get.

When cows are eating soil, stones, and ditches they are trying to tell us something. Again, their normal homeostasis is out, and she is trying to correct whatever deficiency is occurring.

Main causes of PICA in cattle:

  • Low Sodium
  • Low Phosphorus
  • Low fibre

Uniblock has designed PICA-CURE with all these causative factors in mind. PICA-CURE should be fed to help prevent PICA from occurring and can also be used as a treatment once cattle are already licking stones, briars etc.
