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.

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 lickTypical pressed salt block
How it's made Cut from natural rock saltSalt crystals pressed into a block, sometimes with binders
Hardness Very dense, wears down slowlySofter, easier to bite and crumble
In wet weather Holds up better, still lasts longest under coverCan soften and break apart faster
Added ingredients None, no molasses, dye, iodine or fillerVaries; some add iodine, trace minerals or molasses
Hanging Rope already fittedUsually needs a holder or tray
Mess on the ground Little, since the block stays hung upCan 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.

How to use

How to Hang and Care for Your Salt Lick

Follow the product instructions and use a suitable holder to help keep the block accessible and secure.

  1. Choose a suitable holder

    Use a holder designed for the block's shape and weight.

  2. Place it securely

    Install the holder where animals can access it safely without creating an obstruction.

  3. Keep the area appropriate

    Choose a clean, accessible location and follow your facility's hygiene practices.

  4. Inspect the block regularly

    Check for damage, contamination, loose fittings or a holder that needs attention.

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.
