Salt is vitally important to ruminants, playing an essential role in growth, efficiency and reproduction. With careful consideration of flock salt requirements, shepherds can take simple steps to ensure demands are met thus maximising health and productivity.

The information above was only a brief overview. The decision to supplement should be based on flock need and production goals. If you are unsure, it is best to seek expert advice. Further interesting information regarding salt in animal physiology and pasture systems can be found online.
