Salt is vital for both humans and animals. The components of salt, Na and Cl, are
necessary for maintaining good health. Salt stimulates digestion and the absorption of
nutrients.
Individual salt requirement
Every animal has an individual salt requirement. It depends on a great many factors, for example
the animal's weight, growth rate, stage of life, pregnancy and lactation period.
Guaranteed sodium intake
The sodium content of natural feed varies greatly, both from season to season and from year to year. Salt licks
guarantee sodium intake.
Minerals and trace elements
Salt licks also contribute to the absorption of minerals and trace elements. A deficiency of these
leads to developmental disorders. Each trace element and mineral has its own function, but in addition
they also interact with one another. The lack of one mineral or trace element inhibits the effect of another
mineral or trace element.
Why salt licks?
An animal develops a natural urge to lick salt when it has a sodium or chloride
deficiency. By using a salt lick, you ensure that the animal gets exactly the right amount of salt. A salt lick is
efficient because there are none of the losses that occur when using loose salt. When using salt licks,
there is no need to fear overdosing. Each animal licks the salt lick according to its
individual needs.
Recommendations for using a salt lick
• A salt lick can be placed in the pasture or in the barn/stable, using a rope or a special
salt lick holder.
• A salt lick should be mounted above ground level, but not higher than shoulder height.
• To avoid damaging the sward, it is recommended to change the position of the
blocks periodically.
• Animals must have constant access to drinking water.

Every mineral and trace element has its own function, but they also interact – the lack of one
mineral or trace element inhibits the effect of another.
Functions of the trace elements contained in LISAL lick stones:
• Sodium (Na) - ensures the balance of salt, acid and alkali and plays an important role
in the functioning of the muscle tissue and nervous system.
• Magnesium (Mg) - stimulates milk yield and is important for preventing tetany.
Ensures normal muscle function and nerve impulses.
• Calcium (Ca) - important for skeletal development.
• Selenium (Se) - stimulates fertility, prevents muscle function disorders, improves general
health and increases the effectiveness of iodine.
• Manganese (Mn) - important for the development of the skeleton, teeth and reproductive organs.
• Iron (Fe) - stimulates the functioning of all organs and tissues and is important for oxygen
transport.
• Copper (Cu) - promotes metabolism. Not included in the composition of lick stones
intended for sheep.
• Iodine (I) - important for the effective functioning of the thyroid gland, which in turn has a
positive effect on the growth and development of animals. A sufficient amount of iodine is especially important for pregnant
cows, as it increases the number of healthy-born calves.
• Zinc (Zn) - necessary for the development of skin and bones and is also an important
component of enzymes.
• Cobalt (Co) - necessary for the synthesis of vitamin B12, which in turn ensures sufficient production of red
blood cells and thus reduces the risk of anaemia
