Key Features of This Salt Brick

This white salt brick offers a range of benefits for your animals. It consists of 99.0% pure salt, providing a clean source of sodium and chloride. The brick is extremely tough and weather resistant, holding up well against rain and humidity, making it ideal for outdoor use in pastures or barns. It is designed for free-choice feeding, allowing animals to self-regulate their salt intake. Suitable for all classes of beef and dairy cattle, sheep, pigs, horses, and commonly used for goats and other livestock. Simple ingredients: salt, calcium stearate, and mineral oil.

Why Supplement with Salt?

Salt is an essential mineral that supports numerous bodily functions in animals, including fluid balance, nerve transmission, and muscle function. Although many commercial feeds contain some salt, free-choice supplementation lets animals meet their individual needs, especially during hot weather or when grazing on low-sodium forages. This white brick provides a convenient, long-lasting source of salt for animals to lick as needed.

Ingredients and Quality

This white brick is made from high-purity salt (sodium chloride) with calcium stearate and mineral oil added as binders and to reduce dust. Calcium stearate is a common food-grade additive that helps the brick hold its shape. Mineral oil aids in the pressing process. The product contains No artificial flavors or preservatives. Each 4 lb (approximately 1.8 kg) brick is manufactured under strict quality controls to ensure consistency.

How to Use a Salt Lick for Free-Choice Feeding

Place the salt brick in a clean, dry area where animals have easy access. Ensure it is sed in a holder or on a flat surface to prevent it from being knocked over or buried. Regularly check the brick and replace it when it has been consumed or if it becomes excessively dirty. Always provide fresh water alongside salt supplementation, as salt increases water intake. Monitor your animals to ensure they are not over- or under-consuming salt; if you have concerns, consult your veterinarian.

Safety and Storage

Store the salt brick in a cool, dry place when not in use. Keep out of reach of small animals and children. While salt is generally safe, excessive consumption can lead to salt toxicity, particularly if water is limited. Always ensure adequate fresh water is available. If you notice signs of salt poisoning (e.g., lethargy, excessive thirst, tremors), remove the salt source and contact a veterinarian immediately.
