Lick Tanks

Lick Feeders

Supplements should be an important part of your livestock's overall health program. These heavy-duty poly liquid feed tanks use wheels that, when rotated, bring livestock minerals and supplements up from the tank to the exterior of the feeder for your cattle to consume. They're a very economical means of serving up supplements to your animals. They're available in capacities as small as 16 gallons up to 285 gallons for your large herds.

Lick Tanks for Essential Livestock Mineral Supplementation

Lick tanks are specially designed feeders that hold mineral blocks or loose mineral supplements, providing livestock with constant access to vital nutrients. These tanks are a practical and efficient way to support the health and productivity of cattle, sheep, goats, and other grazing animals on your ranch. By offering free-choice minerals, lick tanks help ensure your animals get the essential salts, vitamins, and trace minerals they need to thrive.

What Are Lick Tanks and How Are They Used?

Lick tanks serve as durable containers that keep mineral supplements clean, dry, and easily accessible for livestock. Placed strategically in pastures or feeding areas, they allow animals to consume minerals at their own pace throughout the day. This natural supplementation method helps prevent deficiencies and promotes balanced nutrition without the need for forced feeding.

Why Are Lick Tanks Important for Ranchers?

Proper mineral intake is critical for maintaining healthy livestock. Lick tanks offer ranchers an easy way to deliver these essential nutrients with minimal labor and hassle. Regular access to minerals supports:

• Improved digestion and nutrient absorption
• Stronger bones and teeth
• Enhanced immune function
• Better reproductive performance
• Increased weight gain and overall vigor
