Himalayan Salt Lick Block for Animals | 2-3kg Natural Salt Block with Rope

Nature's Perfect Mineral Supplement for Your Animals

Give your livestock, horses, and farm animals the essential minerals they need with EverHealthy's Himalayan Salt Animal Feed Block. Carved from pure, 250-million-year-old Himalayan rock salt, this natural mineral lick provides a full spectrum of trace elements that support animal health, vitality, and performance.

Why Animals Need Salt Licks

Essential for Animal Health

All grazing animals and livestock require sodium chloride (salt) and trace minerals for:

• Proper muscle function and nerve transmission
• Healthy digestion and nutrient absorption
• Strong bone and hoof development
• Optimal milk production in dairy animals
• Reproductive health and fertility
• Immune system support
• Temperature regulation
• Appetite stimulation and weight gain

Natural Mineral Deficiency Solution

Pasture grass and regular feed often lack sufficient minerals. Without supplementation, animals can develop:

• Salt deficiency (hyponatremia)
• Poor coat/hide quality
• Reduced milk production
• Decreased appetite
• Lethargy and weakness
• Abnormal behavior (wood chewing, soil eating)
• Reproductive problems

Our Himalayan Salt Block solves this naturally.

What Makes Himalayan Salt better?

🌿 100% Natural & Unprocessed

• No chemicals or additives
• No artificial binders
• No anti-caking agents
• Pure crystalline structure
• Free from pollutants and toxins

💪 Harder & Lasts Longer

Himalayan salt's dense crystalline structure means:

• Animals can't bite off large chunks
• Controlled, steady mineral intake
• Lasts 3-6 months longer than pressed blocks
• Better value for money
• Less waste

🎯 Self-Regulating Consumption

Animals instinctively know how much they need. The hardness of Himalayan salt prevents overconsumption while allowing them to lick as required.

How to Use

Installation:

1. Choose Location

• Place in animal shelter, stable, barn, or pasture
• Protected from direct rain (reduces dissolution)
• Accessible to all animals in the group
• Away from feed and water bowls (prevents contamination)
• At comfortable licking height for your animals

2. Hanging Method (Recommended)

• Use included rope through pre-drilled hole
• Hang from fence post, stable wall, or tree branch
• Height: Chest to head level for your animal
• Secure knot - block is heavy when wet

3. Ground Placement (Alternative)

• Place on clean, dry ground
• Elevate slightly on bricks/stones to prevent mud contact
• Not ideal for wet climates (dissolves faster)
• Better for indoor use in dry barns

4. Multiple Animals

• 1 block per 5-10 animals (depending on size)
• Multiple blocks for larger herds
• Space blocks apart to reduce competition

Consumption Guidelines:

Normal Usage:

• Animals will lick as needed - don't worry about exact amounts
• Average: 50-100g per animal per day (varies widely)
• More in hot weather or during heavy work
• Less when pasture/feed is mineral-rich

Monitor for:

• ✅ Healthy licking behavior (regular visits throughout day)
• ✅ Smooth wear patterns on block
• ⚠️ Excessive licking (may indicate severe deficiency - consult vet)
• ⚠️ No interest (block placement issue or already mineral-sufficient)

Replacement:

• Replace when block is reduced to small, unstable piece
• Typical lifespan: 1-2 months (varies by number of animals and usage)
• Faster consumption in hot, humid climates
• Slower in cool, dry conditions

Care & Maintenance

Weather Protection:

• ☂️ Keep under shelter when possible
• Rain dissolves salt faster
• Bring indoors during heavy monsoons
• If outdoors, expect faster wear

Cleaning:

• Not necessary - salt is naturally antibacterial
• Remove accumulated dirt with stiff brush
• Don't wash with water
• Natural weathering is normal

Storage:

• Store unused blocks in dry location
• Wrap in plastic if storing long-term
• Keep away from ground moisture
• Stack carefully (heavy blocks)
