A method for preventing rodents from damaging shed antlers is disclosed. The method includes the steps of: creating a mineral block constructed to be placed in a wintering grounds of antlered deer prior to antler cast-off, the mineral block containing at least phosphorus and calcium salts; mixing at least a powdered phosphorus salt and a powdered calcium salt to create a salt mixture; combining the salt mixture with a powdered mortar; adding water to the salt mixture and powdered mortar to produce a wet mortar; placing the wet mortar in a mold and allowing it to dry to form the mineral block; and, removing the mold from formed mineral block. The resulting product may then be distributed as necessary in a specified area where antler cast-offs are present.

A method of forming a low moisture block with cold flow resistance proceeds by subjecting a feed mixture containing molasses-like liquids to mixing to form a homogenous mixture; dehydrating the molasses-like mixture to less than about 2.0% moisture using heating; adding to the dehydrated molasses-like liquid mixture one or more feed ingredients in dry ingredient form, comprising 10% to 50% by weight of the resulting mixture; and adding to the dehydrated molasses-like mixture a composition comprising CaO or reactive MgO or combinations thereof, with the composition comprising 0.1% to 10% by weight of the resulting mixture. The composition is mixed in to form a homogenous mixture.

Methods of feeding ruminants involve positioning the feed blocks in a pasture accessible to the ruminants. The feed block may have a total fat content of about 7 wt % to 33 wt % and an intake modifier to control intake of the feed blocks. High fat pellets having a high total fat content provide at least a portion of the fat in the high fat feed blocks. The methods control a rate of ingestion of high fat feed blocks by ruminants while not negatively affecting performance, and in some instances, ingestion of the blocks results in improved performance.
