Himalayan Lump Rock Salt

The main benefit of our premium red salt is the fact that it withstands being left out in the elements, much better than softer white/grey salt from other parts of the world.

A 550 million year old source of minerals and trace elements for your livestock/horses. Mined from the vast and ancient Himalayan mountains, these salt licks must be the purest form of salt available. The distinctive rose pink colour comes from the salts mineral content, such as iron, potassium and magnesium, which are all vital for maintaining health. 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 livestock and horses 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 and will not dissolve into a mush when left out in the rain, which means they can be safely left outside in the field for horses or cows to ‘self dose’. Our experience has shown that horses and cows do prefer these to other salt licks.

Cows/sheep/goats and horses all have a very well defined appetite for sodium chloride (SALT)only surpassed by the need for water. Because the majority of plants do not provide sufficient sodium for the livestock/horses needs and may lack adequate chloride, salt supplementation is a vital part of any animal’s nutritional requirement.

Please Note: Due to the nature of the product the Himalayan Lump Rock Salt is sent on a full pallet – 40 bags will fit on a pallet.
