Fine Salt

Salt as a Livestock Feed Additive

Salt, which is composed of sodium and chloride, is an essential mineral for livestock health and production. Salt aids in maintaining the bones, muscles, and nervous system of cattle, goats, sheep, horses, chickens, and all other livestock.   

 

Cattle require salt for primary metabolism. Salt plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including maintaining the nervous system, blood regulation, and digestion.  This increases milk production in dairy cattle, and proper weight gain in beef cattle.   

 

For calves and other young livestock, salt is vital to early development.  Salt helps build strong bones, regulates heartbeat, promotes blood clotting, and facilitates muscle movement.  Calves with a salt deficiency have significantly lower weaning weights compared to calves with access to salt. 

 

Cattle and other livestock cannot store salt in their bodies.  Daily access to salt is important to maintain proper health.

 

Salt in Leather Processing

In addition to its role as a livestock feed additive, salt is also used in the processing of raw hides into leather goods.

Mining Process

Our salt is mined from a 10-foot-thick layer of very pure rock salt situated 850 feet below surface near Kanopolis Kansas. Using a modified room and pillar design, conventional mining methods are utilized to extract approximately 60 percent of the salt in a given area, leaving behind 40 percent in the form of “pillars” which support the mine ceiling. The salt is conveyed over 4 miles underground to the mine shaft where it is hoisted to the surface for further processing and final screening to produce the different sized grades.
