Blocks

Made from minerals, not fillers. Backed by science.

The Problem with Traditional Blocks

Most traditional stock blocks on the market rely heavily on molasses, salt, and bypass protein, often making up more than 50% of the product. These ingredients may help with binding (in pressed blocks) or pouring (in poured blocks), but they reduce the space available for essential minerals.

As a result, nutritional value is compromised, and animals miss out on what matters most.

Rod’s Innovative Approach

We’ve completely rethought how a block should perform:
Reduced reliance on fillers like molasses, salt and bypass protein.
High mineral inclusion rates aligned with loose lick standards
Formulated in collaboration with leading ruminant nutritionists
Backed by field trials proving palatability and effectiveness
Our manufacturing process allows us to create condensed, performance-driven blocks without sacrificing structure or stability.

Key Features

Image
Optimal Calcium and Magnesium Focus
Specifically formulated to deliver the two most critical macro minerals for ruminants in Southern Australia, supporting muscle function, skeletal health, and metabolic stability.
Image
Low-Filler, High-Value Formulation
Unlike traditional blocks that rely on molasses and salt for structure, Rod’s blocks are condensed and mineral-rich, with no unnecessary bulk ingredients.
Image
Eco-Friendly, Paddock-Safe Packaging
Blocks are delivered in non-structural cardboard that is fully biodegradable and safe for livestock to consume or leave to decompose in the paddock.
Image
Proven Intake and Palatability
Field trials across varying seasons and livestock systems confirm consistent consumption in line with mineral requirements, without over- or under-consumption.

Made from Minerals, not Fillers.

Highest mineral content block on the market
Correct Calcium to Magnesium ratio
Bypass protein and energy are feed, not minerals
Correct salt levels to manage consumption and contribute sodium in balance with other minerals
