As an important additive in animal feed, feed salt plays an important role in improving animal production performance and maintaining body health. There are many advantages to processing feed salt into salt bricks, rather than adding it directly to the feed. The following is a detailed explanation of why feed salt is processed into salt bricks from a number of aspects.
First of all, salt bricks have a slow-release effect and can provide stable salt content to animals for a long time**. Compared to sprinkling feed salt directly on the feed, salt bricks can dissolve slowly, allowing animals to continuously ingest salt during feeding, avoiding the problem of insufficient or excessive salt intake. This slow-release effect helps to maintain the balance of salt in the animal's body and promotes animal health.
Secondly, high-quality salt bricks will add minerals and vitamins and other nutrients, and a variety of nutrients are scientifically proportioned to provide nutrients for the daily growth of cattle and sheep, which is good for maintaining the health of cattle and sheep.
In addition, salt bricks also have the effect of improving the performance of animal production. Moderate salt intake can promote the activity of enzymes in animals, improve the digestion and absorption rate of feed, and thus increase the utilization rate of feed by animals. At the same time, salt bricks can also promote the balance of water in the animal's body, improve the animal's water intake, and help maintain the normal physiological function of the animal. Together, these effects promote the improvement of animal production performance and bring better economic benefits to farmers.
In addition, salt bricks also have the advantage of being easy to use. After the feed salt is processed into salt bricks, it can be placed in the animal's breeding place, where the animal can lick and eat on its own. This method not only saves time and effort in manually adding feed salt, but also avoids the problem of insufficient or excessive salt intake caused by improper operation. At the same time, salt bricks can also be used as a supplementary feed, which is convenient for farmers to adjust and supplement according to the actual situation of animals.
In addition, salt bricks have the advantages of environmental protection and resource conservation. The traditional way of adding salt to feed often leads to the uneven distribution of salt in the feed, which is easy to cause waste and environmental pollution. The slow-release effect of salt bricks ensures an even release of salt, avoiding waste and pollution problems. At the same time, the manufacturing process of salt bricks is also relatively simple, which can save a lot of energy and water resources.
In summary, processing feed salt into salt bricks has many advantages, including slow-release effect, maintaining the health of the body, improving animal performance, ease of use, environmental protection and resource conservation, etc. Therefore, in the process of animal feeding, it is a scientific, reasonable and environmentally friendly choice to use salt bricks as the addition of feed salt. At the same time, farmers also need to pay attention to the appropriate amount of salt bricks when using them, regularly check the consumption of salt bricks and other details to ensure that salt bricks can play the greatest role.
