A salt based block containing 10% molasses, 1% ammonium chloride. Kidney stone (stones in the urethra thus prevents urination) are a problem in sheep where intake of sodium bicarbonate is high, high P levels in grain diets or reduced water intake.

It is a supplement for stock that are on diets predisposed to bladder stone formation. Bladder stones are usually only a problem in steers, when stones block the urethra and prevent urination. Factors that predispose stock to stone formation include the high phosphorus levels in grain, excess sodium bicarbonate in the diet (used to help prevent acidosis), and reduced water intake due to poor water quality. Vitamin A deficiency can also be a cause of bladder stones in cattle that have been on dry feed for prolonged periods.
