WHY USE ROCKSALT?
Salt is an essential part of an animal’s diet. Due to chemical fertiliser use there is an imbalance of sodium and potassium in the soil.
- Severe restriction of salt over a lengthy period could result in permanent central nervous system damage, lower weight gain, poor feed conversion and lower quality grade.
- Animals have a more well-deļ¬ned appetite for salt than any other compound in nature, except water.
- Sodium is critical to maintain impulses and deficiency, It affects every aspect of performance. Growth, fertility and reproduction, and milk production decline.
- Cattle consuming high-forage, high-potassium diets generally need and consume more salt.
- Animals grazing intensively managed pastures that are heavily fertilized with nitrogen (N) and potassium may also have an increased salt requirement
- Sodium is a major component of saliva, too, and helps buffer acid during ruminal fermentation.
