The 25-year-old Montenegro international, who admitted to the charge of violent conduct, has also received a fine of £15,000.
The incident followed Beck's sending off the Championship contest between the two teams.
Speaking after that game Blackburn manager John Eustace told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Owen's got a big bite mark on the back of his neck and it's a shame the referee didn't see that."
"We've already indicated to the player what we're doing," said Preston director Peter Ridsdale.
"I want to keep that obviously in-house but you can be assured that that's not something that we condone as a football club and we've taken appropriate action."
