Salt Institute references on feeding animals salt

There are many advantages of using salt as a carrier for trace minerals essential to animal growth, health and productivity. The Salt Institute has produced information targeted at animal nutrition professionals and producers of livestock and poultry to assist their understanding of the key role of trace minerals and profitable strategies for ensuring the health of their animals.
