Himalayan Salt - for Animals
Himalayan Salt is a great way to boost efficiency in cows, horses and cattle. Rock Salt encourages saliva flow which, in turn increases the rumen ph.Sodium (Na) is an essential element for animals but is not required by plants. Cattle greatly improved when cows are supplemented with salt.
Trials in New Zealand showed the following results on milk yield:
“Excellent milk production responses to salt supplementation of animals grazing Lucerne have been obtained. A 12.8% response in milk yield to supplementation with salt was achieved in this trial.”
In cows salt requirements are 10kg per cow a year with it costing €0.45 - €0.60 per animal per month. The salts are a great boost to cattle and provide them with what they are missing. Cattle will only lick the salt when required unlike molasses licks. Walsh Agri mineral salts are the best value available in this market with proven results.
Benefits of Rock Salts:
Increased milk yield
Stops cattle drinking their urine
Helps reduce Cud Ball
Salt balances sodium potassium ration (dairy cows)
Reduces Risk of Frothy Bloat
Helps harden the hooves of animals
Contains up to 80 trace elements
Blood formation - boosts heat cycling (fertility)
Utilise feed better
Rock Salt is an excellent choice to include in the diet because it assists digestion and enhances absorption allowing MICRO NUTRIENTS to be absorbed easily into the blood stream where cellular functions take place. ie., provide the nutrient support that maintains healthy cells and a healthy body.
The tremendous pressure in the formation of the Himalayan mountains created Himalayan Rock Salt, the ideal salt crystal and the many elements within it are colloidal and readily absorbed.
When table salt (or rock salt) is sold, minerals are often regarded as “impurities” and are removed during processing. Commercial salt licks are made with table salt, and nutrients are often added later during the manufacturing process.

Himalayan salt licks already contain these minerals and nutrients without any processing. The levels of the minerals are more likely to be healthy to consume, since they are naturally occurring within the salt.
Salt from the Himalayan mountains is nourished by the nutrient-rich water and soil in the area, and contains upwards of 84 minerals, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, and iron. Calcium promotes muscle strength and nourishes the bones, leading to stronger and healthier bones, joints, teeth, and hooves. Magnesium is particularly wonderful for your active horse, providing relief for tired and aching muscles. Potassium is essential for a strong heart, while Iron keeps your horse’s blood healthy.
Another benefit of Himalayan Rock salt is the fact that it is so hard, horses have a hard time biting off chunks as they can with regular softer salt licks.
You can tie the lick anywhere your horses like to hang out and if you have other animals like goats, sheep or cattle, they will love the lick too so put it at a height they can also reach. With the lick off the ground, there’s little chance of contamination by dirt or faeces.
Himalayan Rock salt is totally natural so give your horse the best salt supplement – you can purchase from your local produce store that stocks Minrosa products.
