Dairy & beef cattle
5 kg and 10 kg blocks, trough or stand mounted
Free-choice licking supports rumen function and voluntary water intake. Herds typically consume 30–60 g of lick salt per head per day, rising in hot weather and during lactation.
Animal Lick Salt
Mineral lick blocks for healthier livestock
Natural Himalayan lick supplies sodium, chloride and trace minerals that pasture alone rarely provides. We supply farms, feed merchants and agricultural distributors in bulk — from a single trial pallet to full container loads.

Lick salt by livestock type
Block size and composition change with the species. Tell us your herd and we'll recommend a format.
Horses & ponies
2 kg and 3 kg rope-hole stones
Stable-mounted lick stones replace the sodium lost through sweat during work. Natural rock lick stones are preferred by many yards over pressed blocks for slower consumption.
Sheep & goats
1 kg and 2 kg blocks, sheep-safe composition
Low-copper natural rock lick suits small ruminants where copper-fortified cattle blocks are unsuitable. Smaller block sizes reduce waste in pens.
Deer & game farms
5–10 kg natural lumps, loose supply
Weather-resistant lump lick placed at feeding stations. The dense natural crystal survives rain far better than pressed white salt.

Farm and distributor questions
How long does an animal lick block last?+
Indoors, a 5 kg cattle block typically lasts a group of 10–15 head for four to six weeks. Outdoors in rainfall, expect faster loss — natural crystal lick stones weather considerably slower than pressed white salt blocks, which is the main reason farms switch to Himalayan lick.
Is Himalayan lick salt safe for sheep?+
Our natural rock lick is untreated and contains no added copper, which makes it appropriate for sheep. If you require a copper-fortified block for cattle only, tell us at the quotation stage so the two product lines are packed and labelled separately for your yard.
What packaging do you use for export lick blocks?+
Blocks are individually shrink-wrapped or net-bagged, cartoned, and stacked on heat-treated ISPM-15 pallets — normally 400 units per pallet for 2 kg blocks. Private-label printed sleeves and branded cartons are available for distributors.
Can you supply lick salt with a rope already fitted?+
Yes. We centre-drill the block and fit a nylon rope before packing, so the product is ready to hang straight out of the carton. This is our most requested format for horse yards and smallholdings.
What is the minimum order for animal lick salt?+
One pallet for trial orders, scaling to full container loads. A 20 ft container carries roughly 24–26 MT, which suits distributors serving multiple farm outlets.
