Mass produced salt licks are produced using salt with minerals added in the manufacturing process. Himalayan rock salt licks are literally 'rock hard’, this means that animals are unable to bite chunks off the block, a problem that can occur with the softer ’pressed’ salt licks. These licks are also much more weather resistant, which means they can be safely left outside in the field for Farm animals to 'self dose’. Our experience has shown that Farm animals and pets do prefer these to other salt licks. Farmers have historically provided salt licks for their cattle, horses, and other herbivores to encourage healthy growth and development.
A salt lick is a deposit of mineral salts used by animals to supplement their nutrition, ensuring that they get enough minerals in their diets. A wide assortment of animals, primarily herbivores, use salt licks to get essential nutrients like calcium, magnesium, sodium, and zinc.
Himalayan Salt Licks for Farm animals are obviously distinctive by their colour, however it’s not just this that sets them apart from other licks. We like to describe them as salt licks with 'nothing added and nothing taken out' and we believe they are one of the purest forms of salt (sodium chloride) available.
They contain upto 84 minerals & trace elements and are extremely beneficial for the growth and overall health of all farm animals, big game animals and pets. Salt licks are used for Horses, Cattle,Farm animals,pets and for attracting various wild animals like Whitetail Deer, Mule Deer, Elk, Moose and Antelope etc.
Copper: Helps animals body utilize iron, reduces tissue damage.
Chromium: Enhances the effects of insulin, a hormone necessary for metabolism and storage of protein and carbohydrates.
