Product Details
Natural Shape – Animal Licking Salt
In the world of animal husbandry, equine care, and pet wellness, providing essential minerals is not a luxury – it is a necessity. Animal Licking Salt, made from pure Himalayan pink salt, offers a natural, effective way for livestock, horses, and even household pets to self-regulate their sodium and trace mineral intake. For farmers, ranchers, pet store owners, and wholesalers seeking the highest quality salt licks, Patel & Sons stands as a leading manufacturer and exporter in Pakistan, delivering premium quality, traceable accountability, and natural mineral richness.
What is Animal Licking Salt?
Animal licking salt (also known as a salt lick or mineral lick) is a block or brick of compressed Himalayan pink salt that animals instinctively lick to obtain essential sodium, chloride, and trace minerals. Unlike processed white salt blocks that have been stripped of beneficial minerals, Himalayan pink salt licks retain over 80 natural trace elements, including calcium, magnesium, potassium, and iron – all vital for animal health.
These salt licks serve several critical functions for animals:
- Sodium Regulation: Animals naturally crave salt to maintain proper fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction.
- Trace Mineral Supplementation: Provides essential minerals that may be deficient in local pasture grasses or feed.
- Hydration Encouragement: Salt intake naturally increases thirst, encouraging animals to drink more water, which improves digestion and overall health.
- Natural Behavior Enrichment: Licking is a natural, calming behavior for many animals, reducing boredom and stress.
- Cost-Effective Supplementation: One salt lick can last weeks or months, making it an economical part of animal care.
Patel & Sons has perfected the animal licking salt product line. With over 31 years of experience and a dedicated manufacturing facility, we ensure that every salt lick is made from food-grade, hand-selected Himalayan crystal from the Khewra mines, compressed into durable blocks, and shaped for easy mounting.
Why Patel & Sons is the Leading Manufacturer & Exporter in Pakistan
With a global footprint across 90+ countries and over 400 active business partners, Patel & Sons has earned its reputation as a trusted manufacturer and global supplier of Himalayan salt products. What truly sets us apart from other suppliers in Pakistan is our uncompromising commitment to quality control and traceability.
Advanced Quality Control System
Unlike any other manufacturer in the region, our entire production unit is monitored through CCTV, with each quality control checkpoint equipped with cameras for surveillance and traceability. Every product, including every animal salt lick, is assigned an internal lot and batch number, allowing us to precisely track the quality control supervisors and officers responsible for each stage of production.
For animal feed supplements – which directly impact livestock health – this traceability is essential. Our system ensures:
- 100% natural salt – no additives, anti-caking agents, or chemicals
- Complete accountability – we know who inspected every block for purity
- Rapid traceability – if an issue arises, we can identify the exact production run
- Safety compliance – meeting international standards for animal feed supplements
- Customer confidence – farmers trust documented quality assurance

Proper Placement & Usage Tips
| Placement Location | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Pasture | Mount on a post or fence at animal nose level. Protect from rain (use a covered holder). |
| Stall | Hang on wall away from bedding to prevent moisture damage. |
| Feedlot | Place multiple licks to prevent crowding and ensure all animals have access. |
| Cage (Small Pets) | Use a small, hanging wheel or block. Remove if it becomes wet or soiled. |
Caution: Always provide access to fresh, clean water when offering salt licks. Animals will drink more when consuming salt.
