A simple guide
What Is a Salt Lick?
What it is, and why animals need it
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.
- Available in different block sizes and pack quantities
- Suitable for a range of farm and livestock settings
- Can be placed in an appropriate, accessible salt holder

Why Himalayan salt
Himalayan Salt Lick vs. Pressed Salt Block
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
Salt Lick vs. Mineral Lick or Block: What's the Difference?
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.

About NutriSalt
Where Our Himalayan Salt Comes From
Our salt is mined in the Salt Range of Punjab, Pakistan, the source of real Himalayan pink salt. Each block is cut and checked by hand for cracks before a rope is fitted. We then ship them to our warehouse in Middle River, Maryland, and pack and send your order from there.
We're a small team that answers the phone ourselves. If you're not sure which salt lick to buy, or how many blocks your herd needs, call us and we'll help you work it out.
