Salt and animal health
July 03, 2018
In the livestock breeding process, some farmers attach great importance to the supply of high-quality forage and concentrate feed, but often do not pay enough attention to the feeding of salt in livestock, and some have no habit of feeding salt. This is very detrimental to the growth and health of livestock. Longer times can also cause livestock diseases, and even cause death, and cause economic losses to farmers. Therefore, farmers do not neglect to feed salt during livestock breeding. At the same time, do not feed too much livestock or poultry to avoid salt poisoning. Feeding practice has proved that the amount of salt to feed can be grasped by the following amount, that is, generally 0.5% to 1.0% of the dry matter quality of the ration; when the fine material is more, add 0.5% salt; when feeding a lot of green feed , can add 1% salt; when feeding feed containing fish meal, bone meal, add 0.25% salt. The best way to feed salt is to feed it every day. Feed it once every 10 and a half months, although it is better than not feeding, but it is better to feed it less frequently. Salt feeding method can be converted into salt water salt, sprinkled on the forage; can also be salt ground into a powder, evenly fed in the feed; can also be made of salt bricks, let any animal feed.
