Himalayan Salt Lick

Pick the Right Lick

Not all salt licks are created equal.

Many salt blocks are just lumps made of the same little white crystals you have at your dinner table. While white salt is fine for your stable mates and livestock, the other trace elements they need, like calcium is missing. On the other hand, you could add a mineral block to their forage to give them the full spread of necessary vitamins and minerals, but most mineral blocks have about ¼ of the salt content that a salt lick would have, and that’s 4 times as much licking to get to the salty goodness. Himalayan Pink Salt naturally contains 84 highly absorbable trace elements, including calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, and of course… salt!

An ideal balance between a salt lick and a mineral block that’s organic and unprocessed for healthy horses.

Minerals Matter!

Sodium is the main electrolyte found in the blood and the fluid surrounding cells. It is the medium through which nerves communicate and cells transmit hormones, so if sodium levels are low, the blood won’t retain enough water and cellular processes begin to break down. If this happens, a horse’s body will naturally try to retain as much sodium as it can by limiting kidney function, which leads to mineral imbalances that can cause sickness, or even death if left untreated. Having an available salt lick is a simple and effective way to allow horses to seek out salt replenishment as they need it and keep them from becoming salt starved.

Equine Dining

A visit with an equine nutritionist, extension agent, or veterinarian is the best way to determine your horse’s specific needs, but most horses need about 50 grams of salt per day. The pre-drilled and tied mounting rope makes it easy to hang the block from stable walls, tree branches, or trailer windows and then, just watch the block to make sure your horse is ingesting enough of it. Depending on professional recommendation, each 5lb block should last about two months per horse on average for proper intake. Make sure there’s also plenty of fresh water nearby, and don’t forget to keep the block clean.

Oh, Deer!

That’s right. Deer need salt too! While the average farm prefers to keep these skittish, white-tailed foragers away from their cattle pastures – wildlife preserves, outdoor enthusiasts, and nature photographers might have an interest in keeping the local deer healthy. A well-placed Himalayan salt block in backyard woods or near a photogenic setting can attract these woodland friends to showcase nature at its finest moment, or help draw them away from your prized victory garden.
 

Salt makes horses thirsty, which encourages them drink and stay hydrated. More water keeps the digestion system moving, which also means they can flush out toxins and help prevent digestion issues.
