Salt acts as a nutrient and ensures the body’s thermoregulation. It is also a seasoning that promotes appetite in animals by stimulating salivation, rumination, and digestion. It regulates the intake of water and dry matter (DM), thereby supporting fattening and milk yield. <\/p>\n
A salt deficiency leads to various (more or less visible) symptoms: reduced appetite, pica (licking and eating disorders), slower growth, and reduced milk production. The animal appears tired, is more susceptible to disease, fertility problems may occur, and demineralization can result. <\/p>\n
It is therefore necessary to supply animals with salt regularly. The requirement is at least 1.5 to 2 g of sodium per kg of dry matter (equivalent to approx. 4 g of salt per kg of dry matter). <\/p>\n
Salt is the only feed (besides water) for which animals have a specific appetite, meaning they can adjust their intake to their needs. There is neither over- nor undersupply and no waste, as the salt is offered in compact form. Since the need for salt is constant, SEL\u2019PUR salt licks must be available in sufficient numbers for free intake year-round \u2013 both in the stable and on pasture. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
