Olssons Pacific Salt, Yennora, NSW

Olsson’s 1st salt block was produced in 1949 in a shed just west of Parramatta. It was the first pressed salt block produced in Australia to contain a range of minerals and was the forerunner of all the multi-nutrient blocks produced in Australia from that time onwards. Ever since, Olsson’s have been at the forefront of ruminant technology and education of the grazier about the latest break-throughs in this field. That has never been more true than today. Olsson’s continue to support the research and development of ruminant nutrition through University tests and field trials. Olsson’s have been fortunate enough to gain the consultancy services of Prof. Leng AO (Armidale University), one of Australia’s foremost experts on ruminant nutrition. Dr. Wayne Backhouse, Olsson’s Director of Nutrition, is currently working with Prof. Leng in research on ruminant nutrition.
