Dear Sir,

It will be ideal for you to use Mineral Mixture separately since Mineral bricks are not being manufactured by many Companies as of today.

At the same time it has to be realized that the bricks which are available presently, do contain not more than 8 minerals along with Salt whereas the actual requirement of minerals for animal (Cattle or Goat) is a right combination of 14 minerals.

Thus it would be ideal to use a Mineral Mixture (available in Powder form). I certainly agree this will be little difficult to feed individually to every goat but we have to come out with certain via media on this.
