| Supplementing livestock rations with salt is an accepted and essential practice, to encourage optimum weight gains, yield and performance. Salt also improves the taste of the ration, thus encouraging the uptake of the important nutrients included in the ration.
Coarse grained stockfeed salt suitable for providing salt 'free choice'.
A Kiln dried, refined salt with a smaller crystal size which is particularly suited to the formulation of feedlot rations, concentrates and pet foods. The finer grainsize also allows easier uptake by smaller animals.
A Kiln Dried, refined small grain salt with added iodine to a typical level of 100 mg iodine per kilogram of salt.RAM
Naturally crystallised from sea water and salt lakes the R.A.M. (Right Animal Mix) range contains stock and feed grade salt suitable for almost all animal rations.
R.A.M. Rock Salt is a true mined rock salt, imported from overseas. It has high trace element analysis combined in a highly compacted form provides the benefits of normal salt but with reduced losses due to weathering.
To obtain more information please call your nearest Cheetham Salt Sales and Distribution office (see "Contacts").
The exact amount of salt required by an animal depends on a variety of variables including:
type of animal
age or stage of growth
health
type of feeds being consumed
level of work or production of the animal
Consult your vet or local produce agent for specialist advice on salt supplementing. Take care to ensure there is ample fresh water always available to the animals, especially if salt is included as part of the ration (i.e. not free choice).
