K + S high-quality natural rock salt is used and recommended for use as animal feed sodium chloride (NaCl) in animal feed. Content not less than 99% of sodium chloride (NaCl).
K + S feed salt is suitable for organic farming in accordance with European Union regulations 834/2007 and 889/2008.
Animal salt is a mineral additive and is used to fortify sodium and chlorine in feed rations.
Salt is essential for high milk production, good reproduction and the proper development of bone tissue and wool. It should be included in the diet of all animals. Salt stimulates digestion and improves the absorption of nutrients into the body. Salt is needed to maintain normal osmotic pressure in the blood and lymph, and is also involved in regulating the pH environment (blood, lymph, gastric juice) and water and salt balance.
Chlorine is required for the formation of hydrochloric acid in the stomach of animals, which accelerates the expansion of proteins, makes them more accessible to digestive enzymes, facilitates the dissolution of poorly soluble minerals (calcium phosphates, iron complexes) and has a sterilizing effect on foreign microflora.
Sodium maintains osmotic pressure in cells, regulates water balance and plays an important role in the transmission of nerve impulses and the contraction of muscle fibers.
Magnesium is essential for muscle function and bone formation. It also activates enzymes involved in energy metabolism.
Calcium is involved in the transmission of nerve impulses and is an integral part of bone formation. This valuable mineral in milk is also essential during breastfeeding.
Copper, which is the building block of many proteins and enzymes, is also involved in the numerous metabolic processes of animals.
Zinc used in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. It stabilizes cell membranes, and
it is also a component of insulin hormone.
Lack of salt causes a decrease in appetite, which in turn leads to a reduction in weight loss during fattening, a decrease in milk yield and quality, and a deterioration in the animal's immunity.
The long storage time, very low hygroscopicity and good brittleness of the salt are important properties for the animal husbandry industry.
Usage:
Rock salt for animal husbandry is used to feed minerals to cattle, poultry and fur animals, as well as as an ingredient in complete and concentrated feed and in the production of protein and vitamin supplements.
