First needs after milking
Jan-Jaap strategically placed the licks at the exit of the milking robot, next to the water trough. "After milking, cows first need enough water and can then take a few licks of the salt block. They have a need for it," Jan-Jaap observes. The cows use one block for about 5-6 days. In winter, this often goes even faster at Jacob's Farm.
"You don't have to worry about them getting too much with KNZ licks."
Always provided with salt
Jan-Jaap temporarily didn't offer licks and noticed that the cows still had a need for it. After the licks were put back, the cows used them at a rapid pace. To prevent the cows from running out, Jan-Jaap now always puts two licks in the barn.
Jan-Jaap believes it's important for his cows to feel good and to receive the minerals and vitamins they need in a natural way. Licks are a nice way to contribute to this. "Besides, it's still a beautiful sight to see a cow indulge in a lick."
