SEA SALT FOR LIVESTOCK

BULK

The Sea Salt for Livestock is a high‑quality sea salt supplement designed to support the health and wellbeing of livestock, including horses. Salt (sodium chloride) is an essential mineral for herbivores and plays a vital role in many physiological functions that are not always fully met by forage and grain alone.

As a key electrolyte in the diet, this sea salt helps maintain proper nerve and muscle function, ensuring animals can move comfortably and react normally to their environment. It also naturally stimulates thirst, encouraging horses to drink more water—a crucial factor in preventing dehydration and supporting healthy digestion.

Providing salt as a supplement allows horses to self‑regulate their intake according to their needs. Whether offered free choice in a feeder or added directly to their feed, this sea salt helps balance mineral levels and contributes to overall electrolyte balance, especially important in warm weather or for animals with higher activity levels.

Because many pastures and commercial feeds are low in sodium, adding a dedicated livestock salt like this one ensures that your horse’s electrolyte and hydration needs are met naturally and reliably.

RECOMMENDED SALT AMOUNTS FOR HORSES

• Free‑choice salt (block or lickable salt)

Adult horses typically consume 30 to 60 g of salt per day on average.

Very active horses or those in hot weather may consume up to 100 g/day.

Salt should be available at all times, as horses naturally regulate their intake according to their needs.

• Salt added to the daily feed ration

For horses receiving a grain or concentrate mix, it is often recommended to provide 15 to 25 g of salt per 100 kg of body weight per day.

Example: a 500 kg horse would require approximately 75 to 125 g of salt per day.
