In the rearing of livestock (cattle, donkeys, pigs, and sheep, etc.), some cultivators attach great importance to the supply of quality forage and concentrate feed, but often do not pay enough attention to the supply of salt to livestock, and some fundamentally] have the habit of feeding salt. This is very detrimental to the growth and health of livestock. Longer times lead to various diseases, even death, and economic losses. Therefore, do not feed the salt slightly. Is it important to feed salt for livestock? Because sodium and chlorine are different from calcium and phosphorus in livestock, they are mainly found in blood and body fluids. The content of sodium is 0.15 to 0.20% of body weight, chlorine is 0.15% of body weight, and adult pigs contain 0.07% of sodium and 0.06 of body weight. % Chlorine is an indispensable mineral element for livestock. Sodium is present in body fluids outside of cells in the body of the animal and is the main component of blood and other body fluids. Sodium in the body? Sodium and chlorine in the livestock body dyeing and squeezing. The lack of salt in pigs, but also rough skin, light weight, p, feed remuneration decreased, the occurrence of muddy earth, muddy walls and other phenomena. Therefore, in the livestock breeding process, we must feed a certain amount of salt to various kinds of livestock, especially for herbivorous livestock, dairy cows and draught animals, because they need more sodium and chlorine and consume too much, they eat the plants. Sodium and chlorine are less in the feed. If you do not pay regular attention to salt, sodium and chlorine deficiency may occur. For poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) also need to add the right amount of salt. Whether it is livestock or poultry, do not feed too much, so as not to cause salt poisoning. So, how much is the best salt feed? Feeding practices have proved that the amount of salt to be fed can be grasped by the following amount, that is, generally 0.5-1.0% of the dry matter mass of the ration; when the concentrate is large, 0.5% salt can be added; when a large amount of green feed is fed, Can add 1% salt; when feeding feed containing fish meal, bone meal, add 0.25% salt. Feeding salt is best to feed every day, Dunton. Feeding once every 10 and a half months is better than not feeding, but it's better to feed and feed less. The method of feeding salt can be converted into salt water and sprinkled on the forage; it can also be ground into powder and evenly mixed in the feed; can also be made into salt bricks, let any animal feed.
