Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some answers to the questions we receive the most about our services.
If we missed anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. We’ll be happy to help

How often should I replace my animal lick salt?

The replacement frequency depends on the number of animals using the lick salt, the size of the lick salt block, and weather conditions. Generally, you’ll want to replace the lick salt when it becomes significantly smaller or shows signs of wear.

Can I use the same lick salt for all my animals?

While some lick salt options are suitable for a variety of animals, it’s best to choose a lick salt formulated for the specific needs of your livestock or wildlife. Consult your veterinarian or a qualified animal nutritionist for recommendations.

Is Himalayan pink lick salt better than white mineral salt?

Both Himalayan pink salt and white mineral salt offer essential electrolytes and minerals for animals. Himalayan pink salt contains trace minerals like iron, which some believe may offer additional benefits. Ultimately, the best choice depends on your animal’s specific needs and preferences.

How much salt is too much for my animals?

While essential, excessive salt intake can be harmful to animals. ZH Minerals’ lick salt products are formulated to provide the right balance of minerals. Monitor your animals’ consumption and consult a veterinarian if you have any concerns.

Are ZH Minerals' lick salt products safe for the environment?

ZH Minerals is committed to sustainable practices. Our Himalayan pink salt is ethically sourced, and our white mineral salt comes from reputable mines with responsible extraction methods. Additionally, lick salt provides animals with essential minerals, potentially reducing the need for mineral supplements that can leave residues in the environment.

Will lick salt attract unwanted animals to my property?

While lick salt can attract wildlife seeking essential minerals, it’s not necessarily a magnet for unwanted animals. The specific type of wildlife attracted will depend on the location and the presence of other natural food sources. Strategic placement of rock salt lumps for wildlife can help minimize any potential conflicts.

Can I place lick salt directly on the ground?

Placing lick salt directly on the ground can lead to faster erosion and contamination from dirt or debris. It’s best to use lick salt feeders or holders that elevate the salt and provide a cleaner access point for your animals.

How can I tell if my animals are getting enough salt from their lick salt?

Monitoring your animals’ behavior and overall health can offer clues. Signs of potential mineral deficiency include excessive licking of the ground or other objects, decreased appetite, lethargy, or poor growth. Consulting a veterinarian for regular checkups is always recommended.

Do lick salt products require any special storage?

Store your lick salt in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight and moisture. This will help prevent the salt from becoming excessively hard or dissolving too quickly.

Where can I find information on the specific mineral content of ZH Minerals' lick salt products?

The specific mineral content of each lick salt product is available on the product page or by contacting our customer service team. We are happy to provide detailed information to help you choose the most suitable lick salt for your animal’s needs.
