Necessary Minerals for Your Livestock

Salt is crucial to livestock health and wellbeing for numerous reasons, from regulating body processes and hydration to encouraging proper development and weight gain. It also assists in addressing high potassium levels in cattle, which can lead to health problems with supplemental salt sources. Further, salt can balance out the varying levels of magnesium and potassium in forage, helping to prevent bloat.

Whether you need salt, holders or both, our selection includes:

Options Formulated for Different Animals

Many kinds of livestock and farm animals benefit from salt. When you raise cattle, you need to make sure they have access to salt daily to help with bodily functions, such as reproduction and blood flow. For horses, salt is beneficial for hydration and nutrient absorption, while pigs may also ingest salt to maintain their growth and overall health. Owners of goats and sheep can provide them with salt to help maintain proper electrolyte balance and encourage water consumption.

Flavors and Scents

To entice your animals to consume it or simply change up their day, our supplemental salts are made in several flavor and scent options. You can consider salt with garlic, which offers added tastiness and natural insect control, helping to keep pesky bugs away from your animals. Naturally flavored salt is also a great choice for giving your animals the traditional taste they’re used to.

Mineral Types

Along with salt, livestock need other minerals that support their body functions. We carry salt minerals, as well as formulas with selenium, which is required for normal growth and fertility in cattle. Additionally, salt with cobalt helps synthesize vitamin B12 for energy and immune system support.

Product Forms

Our variety of livestock salt comes in different forms to make giving it to your animals easier. If you prefer to use salt blocks or bricks, place them in pastures or stalls for animals to lick. Loose salt may be easier for llamas and alpacas to ingest, especially since they don’t engage in licking salt.
