A simple guide
A salt lick is a block or natural deposit of salt that animals can lick. If you have wondered what salt licks are or what a salt lick is, the simple answer is that it is a source of salt that animals can access by licking. Animals licking salt blocks are seeking sodium, an essential mineral, but their individual needs vary by species, diet and overall feeding program.
A Himalayan salt block for animals is a natural rock salt product often used as a salt lick. These pink salt blocks are available in different shapes and weights. Natural salt licks are available in different shapes and weights, so livestock owners can compare product details and choose an option that fits their setup.
Compare the available block weights and select the option that works with your animal care setup. Always consider your animals' individual needs and feeding plan.

Why Himalayan salt
Most feed stores sell white or brown pressed blocks made from salt crystals squeezed together. A Himalayan salt lick is cut from solid rock salt instead. Here's how they compare.
| Item | NutriSalt Himalayan salt lick | Typical pressed salt block |
|---|---|---|
| How it's made | Cut from natural rock salt | Salt crystals pressed into a block, sometimes with binders |
| Hardness | Very dense, wears down slowly | Softer, easier to bite and crumble |
| In wet weather | Holds up better, still lasts longest under cover | Can soften and break apart faster |
| Added ingredients | None, no molasses, dye, iodine or filler | Varies; some add iodine, trace minerals or molasses |
| Hanging | Rope already fitted | Usually needs a holder or tray |
| Mess on the ground | Little, since the block stays hung up | Can leave salty mud around the block |
Honest answer
Himalayan salt is mostly sodium chloride. It also holds small amounts of natural trace minerals like potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron, which give it its pink color. Those amounts are small, so we don't sell our salt lick as a complete mineral supplement.
A mineral lick, mineral block or loose mineral is a formulated product with set levels of minerals like copper, zinc, selenium and phosphorus, often made for one species. Many owners give both: a plain salt lick free choice, plus mineral licks matched to their animals and their local soil and hay.
How to use
Follow the product instructions and use a suitable holder to help keep the block accessible and secure.
Use a holder designed for the block's shape and weight.
Install the holder where animals can access it safely without creating an obstruction.
Choose a clean, accessible location and follow your facility's hygiene practices.
Check for damage, contamination, loose fittings or a holder that needs attention.
