Compressed Himalayan
Rock Salt Animal Licks are made from **0% Natural and Unrefined
Himalayan Salt which contains *4 minerals & trace elements that
are essentials for all livestock at all life stages. They are a
convenient and ideal source of nutrients for all animals such as
horses, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, deer, etc. Animals have a
natural affinity for eating salt; therefore, Himalayan Compressed
Salt licks provide them with regular salt requirements and other
necessary minerals which contribute to their growth. They are
available in 3 convenient sizes: 5.5 lb., *1 lb. and *2 lb.
How are
they made?
We specially
select Premium Himalayan Salt
Powder which is then compressed into block shapes with curved edges
and a smooth surface. We use extremely high pressure to form these
block shapes that can hold together without the use of any binding
agents. We have also provided a hole in the middle for easy
mounting to a pole or for hanging in a stall using a
rope.
How are
these different from Natural Cut Salt Licks?
The structure of the Himalayan salt mines is
such that the salt varies in its composition of minerals. The
salt at the highest point of the mine is very light/almost white
which means that the mineral content is very low. The
salt at ground level is dark pink/almost red and thus its mineral
content is the highest. The rocks vary in their mineral
content based on the extraction point which means that if
the animals are fed natural salt rocks, the mineral
consumption for the animals would vary and could not be
controlled. So the process of compression ensures the presence of
mineral and iron content evenly throughout the block. Natural salt
licks which are naturally transformed do not guarantee the even
distribution of minerals.

Will it
wear out quicker?
We have tested the product alongside other
natural salt licks under wet conditions and they both wore the
same. These blocks are pressed using high pressure and they hold
really well.
