How it is made and where does it come from?
Our salt is mined from deep from the ancient hill in areas close to the Himalayas, often in Pakistan. It gets its rosy hue from trace minerals in the salt, like magnesium, potassium and calcium.
The Salt layer/deposits were from an ancient seabed that evaporated some 250 million years ago, still preseving its crystalline structre.
Why Trace elements?
Trace elements/minerals are now universally recognised as being essential in any livestock diet. Although only required in very low levels their presence has a profound effect on livestock health and productivity.
