Effectiveness of use: Salt is a necessary component, a natural additive to animal nutrition. It helps and promotes increased appetite, bone development, smooth and even growth of wool, increased milk yield in cattle, improved feed absorption, and prevents weight loss.

It is important to provide animals with elements such as sodium and chlorine, since plants contain them in small quantities. Feeding cows with common salt at the rate of 50-100 g per day helps increase appetite, improve the palatability of feed, and increase the secretion of digestive juices.

Application standards: Salt is fed strictly in rationing, when added to concentrated feeds. Recommended norms per head in g/day:

• Cattle – 30-40;
• Horses – 10-30;
• Pigs – 2.5-15;
• Birds – 0.1-0.25% of dry matter of feed.

The need for salt in ruminants increases significantly when feeding silage. This is due to the increased excretion of sodium bicarbonate by the animals with saliva to neutralize the acids contained in the silage.

Overdose: It is important to follow the instructions for use. Excess salt in the diet is no less harmful than its deficiency. Excess salt leads to digestive disorders, tissues become depleted of water, and salt poisoning occurs.

Special precautions: When feeding salt, it is very important to provide animals with sufficient drinking water.

Special precautions for personnel: Use protective gloves and goggles when adding the feed additive to the feed.

Forms of incompatibility: Missing.
