Khoisan Unwashed Coarse Sea Salt

Khoisan Unwashed Coarse Sea Salt is a pure, unrefined natural sea salt suitable for use as a supplementary source of salt for horses, livestock and other animals where appropriate.

Salt provides sodium and chloride, essential electrolytes involved in normal hydration, fluid balance, nerve function and muscle function. Horses and livestock require adequate salt in their diets, particularly when losses increase through sweating, exercise or hot weather.

The coarse, unwashed format provides a simple and natural option for adding salt to feed or making it available according to the nutritional requirements of the individual animal.

Available in multiple pack sizes, making it suitable for everything from individual animals and smaller yards to larger stables and farm use.

Key Features & Benefits

• Useful during hot weather and periods of increased exercise.
• Can be incorporated into an appropriate equine or livestock feeding programme.
• Suitable for horses and livestock where appropriate.
• Coarse format.
• Available in multiple pack sizes.
• Suitable for individual, stable and farm use.

Why Do Horses Need Salt?

Salt provides the essential minerals sodium and chloride, both of which have important roles in normal body function.

Horses lose sodium and chloride through sweat, with losses increasing during exercise, hot weather and heavy sweating. The horse's overall diet therefore needs to provide adequate salt to meet its individual requirements.

Providing appropriate salt intake also helps support the body's normal fluid and electrolyte balance.

Ideal For

• Horses.
• Working and performance horses.
• Horses that sweat regularly.
• Everyday equine feeding programmes.
• Hot-weather management.
• Livestock where dietary salt supplementation is appropriate.
• Stable yards.
• Farms.
• Owners looking for a simple source of supplementary salt.

Feeding Guide

Salt requirements vary according to the animal's species, bodyweight, diet, workload, environmental temperature and level of sweating.

Feed according to the requirements of the individual animal and its complete diet.

Fresh, clean drinking water must always be freely available when supplementary salt is provided.

Specific feeding rates were not supplied and should not be estimated from this product description.

For performance horses, heavily sweating horses or animals requiring targeted electrolyte replacement, salt alone may not provide the complete electrolyte profile required. An appropriate balanced electrolyte supplement may also be necessary.

FAQs

What is Khoisan Unwashed Coarse Sea Salt?
It is a pure, unrefined coarse sea salt that can be used as a supplementary dietary source of sodium and chloride.

Why do horses need salt?
Sodium and chloride are essential electrolytes required for normal fluid balance, nerve function and muscle function.

Is salt particularly important when horses sweat?
Yes. Horses lose sodium and chloride in their sweat, so dietary requirements can increase with exercise, hot weather and increased sweating.

Does feeding salt encourage horses to drink?
Adequate sodium intake is involved in normal thirst and fluid-balance mechanisms. However, it is better to describe salt as supporting normal hydration and fluid balance rather than guaranteeing increased water consumption.

Is sea salt a complete electrolyte supplement?
No. Sea salt primarily supplies sodium and chloride. Horses experiencing substantial sweat losses may require a more comprehensive electrolyte supplement containing additional minerals.

Should water always be available?
Yes. Horses and other animals receiving supplementary salt should always have unrestricted access to fresh, clean drinking water.

Can I feed it every day?
Salt can form part of an animal's regular feeding programme, but the appropriate amount depends on the animal and its total diet.

Important

Khoisan Unwashed Coarse Sea Salt is a supplementary source of dietary salt, not a complete mineral or electrolyte supplement.

Avoid implying that sea salt alone supplies every electrolyte or trace mineral required by horses. Its primary nutritional contribution should be positioned as sodium and chloride unless a current laboratory mineral analysis supports additional claims.
