When salt intake is below that required to meet the animal’s need for sodium and chloride, the animal adjusts by conserving salt. Urine output of sodium and chloride nearly stops. A continuous low salt intake affects the health of animals through a loss of appetite and weight. Feed utilization decreases and it takes more feed per unit of gain or product produced. Animals soon develop a craving for salt. They may consume considerable amounts of dirt, wood, rocks and other materials, if they do not have access to salt blocks. Lactating animals are most susceptible to a salt deficiency because milk contains a considerable amount of sodium and chloride.
A mineral lick (also known as salt lick or natural lick salt) is a natural mineral deposit where animals in nutrient-poor ecosystems can obtain essential mineral nutrients. In an ecosystem, salt/mineral licks often occur naturally, providing the sodium, calcium, iron, phosphorus and zinc required in the springtime for bone, muscle and other growth in deer and other wildlife, such as moose, elephants, tapirs, cattle, woodchucks, domestic sheep, fox squirrels, mountain goats and porcupines. Harsh weather exposes salty mineral deposits that draw animals from miles away for a taste of needed nutrients. It is thought that certain fauna can detect calcium in salt licks.
Salt is essential for horses and vital for blood formation and digestion. Also, salt is lost through sweating and exercise and needs replenishing. Very little salt is used in manufactured feed, hence the need for daily access to salt as a supplement. Horses will self-regulate their intake, actively seeking salt if required and ignoring it if no.

Aft salt for agriculture is used in animal feed for livestock and poultry, as a prescription ingredient in the production of high-grade and concentrated animal feed and protein-vitamin supplements.
