Mineral Feeders and Lick Tanks

Mineral Feeders

Whether feeding solid or liquid minerals to your animals, a quality feeder will protect the expensive supplements while providing full-time access without waste.

The traditional ground feeders and lick tanks can serve up needed supplements to large herds in the pasture while the horse stall and livestock creep feeders single out your animals for special attention.  

Mineral Feeder Styles

In the open, the upright and ground mineral feeders provide a real hands-off feeding station that protects precious minerals from the elements and yet provides easy access to almost all animals, including horses! Just fill it and leave it.

The creep feeders provide a small entry only the younger calves, sheep or goats can access and provides them a stress-free eating environment away from the competition of the open field. The stall mineral feeders will also preserve the grain and supplements for your fouls and younger animals. The design not only protects the mineral from the elements, but also from the adults who would make short work of your expensive minerals!

Stall Feeders

The wall-mounted stall feeders are designed for use in the barn and help growing foals or horses get their required extra nutrition.

The Essential Guide to Mineral Feeders for Livestock

Mineral feeders play a crucial role in the health and productivity of your livestock, providing essential nutrients that support growth, immune function, and overall well-being. Various styles of mineral feeders, such as lick tanks, upright wind vane feeders, and ground mineral feeders, each offer unique benefits tailored to different needs and environments.

Lick Tank Mineral Feeders

Lick tank mineral feeders are designed to dispense liquid minerals and vitamins. These feeders typically feature a reservoir filled with a liquid supplement that animals can lick as needed. The consistent intake of liquid minerals ensures a balanced supply of essential nutrients, promoting healthier coats, stronger bones, and improved reproductive performance. Lick tanks are particularly beneficial in maintaining consistent nutrient levels, especially during periods of stress or increased demand, such as calving or lactation.

Upright Wind Vane Mineral Feeders

The upright wind vane style mineral feeders are engineered to protect the mineral content from the elements while allowing easy access for livestock. Featuring a rotating cover that moves with the wind, these feeders shield the minerals from rain and snow, keeping them dry and palatable. The elevated design minimizes contamination from dirt and debris, ensuring the minerals remain clean and effective. This style is ideal for pastures with variable weather conditions, providing reliable nutrient intake that supports optimal growth rates and robust immune systems.

Ground Mineral Feeders

Ground mineral feeders are built for durability and ease of access. These feeders are typically constructed from heavy-duty materials to withstand harsh environments and the wear and tear from livestock. Placed directly on the ground, they offer a stable and convenient way for animals to access necessary minerals. Ground feeders are particularly effective for large herds, allowing multiple animals to feed simultaneously. By providing essential minerals at ground level, these feeders help enhance nutrient absorption, leading to improved growth rates, stronger immune systems, and better overall health.

Each type of mineral feeder has its distinct advantages, ensuring that livestock receive the necessary nutrients to thrive. Whether utilizing the moisture-protected upright wind vane feeder, the consistent nutrient supply from lick tanks, or the robust and accessible ground feeders, ranchers can choose the best solution to meet their herd's needs. Investing in the right mineral feeder is an investment in the long-term health and productivity of your livestock, ensuring they reach their full potential and contribute to the success of your farming operation.
