Plastic Mineral Block Holder

The Plastic Mineral Block Holder is a compact livestock feeding accessory designed to keep mineral and salt lick blocks securely positioned in animal housing areas. Manufactured from durable molded plastic, the holder provides a practical alternative to placing mineral blocks directly on floors, bedding or other potentially contaminated surfaces.

Its raised side walls and internal retaining structure help stabilize the block during animal use. Pre-formed mounting holes simplify attachment to suitable walls, partitions or other structural surfaces, while compatible configurations may also be installed at floor level according to farm requirements.

The holder is suitable for livestock buildings, cattle barns, goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep housing and agricultural feeding projects where dependable mineral supplementation equipment, easy cleaning and straightforward installation are required. For pig farm construction projects, the holder can be specified where its dimensions and mineral block format are compatible with the farm's feeding and nutrition program.

• Durable Plastic Construction: Molded HDPE structure provides a practical combination of strength, corrosion resistance and low maintenance for livestock environments.
• Secure Block Positioning: The shaped body and internal retaining point help keep compatible mineral or salt lick blocks in position during use.
• Smooth Animal-Safe Profile: Rounded molded surfaces reduce exposed sharp edges around animal contact areas.
• Pre-Drilled Mounting Points: Integrated fixing holes support quick installation on suitable farm walls or structural surfaces.
• Wall or Floor Installation: Installation arrangement can be selected according to animal housing layout and management requirements.
• Easy to Clean: The non-corroding plastic body is convenient for routine washing and livestock-house hygiene management.
• Compact Footprint: Suitable for individual pens, group housing areas, livestock barns and other locations where mineral access is required.
• Project Integration: Can be incorporated into livestock equipment packages for new farm construction, renovation and steel structure animal housing projects.

Molded Plastic Body: Forms the main supporting enclosure and protects the mineral block from direct contact with surrounding surfaces.

Rear Mounting Panel: Integrated vertical section provides fixing points for attachment to a wall, partition or suitable structural member.

Raised Side Walls: Help contain the mineral block and reduce lateral displacement during licking.

Internal Retaining Post: Helps locate compatible mineral blocks and improves stability during animal use.

Pre-Formed Fixing Holes: Allow straightforward mechanical fastening using appropriate hardware selected for the supporting structure.

A compatible mineral or salt lick block is positioned inside the molded holder and retained by the surrounding side walls and internal locating structure. The holder is then securely fixed at an appropriate animal-access height or position according to the housing system.

This arrangement keeps the mineral block in a defined feeding location, helping prevent unnecessary movement and direct contact with manure, bedding or wet floor surfaces. Animals can access the exposed mineral block while the supporting body remains fixed to the livestock housing structure.

Installation Position: Select a stable location that animals can reach comfortably without obstructing feed passages, drinking lines, gates or farm personnel movement.

Wall Mounting: Use the pre-drilled holes and suitable corrosion-resistant fasteners matched to the wall, concrete surface, steel partition or other supporting structure.

Mounting Height: Determine installation height according to livestock species, animal size and housing layout. The holder should remain accessible while being protected from unnecessary hoof contact where possible.

Cleaning: Remove mineral residues and accumulated contamination periodically. Wash the plastic body as required under the farm hygiene program.

Inspection: Regularly check mounting fasteners, fixing holes and the molded body for excessive wear or damage.

Replacement: Replace damaged holders when structural integrity or safe mineral-block retention can no longer be maintained.

Plastic mineral block holders can be supplied as part of complete livestock equipment packages together with animal pens, feeding equipment, drinkers, partitions, gates, ventilation systems and steel structure livestock buildings. For commercial projects, holder quantity, fixing position and compatible mineral block size can be planned according to animal numbers, pen layout and farm management requirements.
