Why do animals need salt and trace minerals?
Salt is as necessary for an animal’s diet as it is for people. Salt is an ideal carrying agent for other minerals known as trace minerals which animals must have and cannot always obtain from natural feeds. They are important for the prevention of disease and production of better livestock.
