Mineral Lick ( rock salt) Extra Pure

Whatsapp Order

Mineral Lick (Rock Salt) Extra Pure is a high-purity, natural crystalline salt product specially processed for scientific, veterinary, and nutritional applications. Composed primarily of sodium chloride (NaCl), this form of rock salt may also contain trace essential minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium in controlled amounts. Its extra pure grade ensures minimal contaminants, making it ideal for controlled laboratory experiments, animal nutrition studies, and formulation testing where purity and consistency are critical.

In agricultural research and veterinary science, Mineral Lick is commonly used to study electrolyte balance, mineral supplementation, and livestock behavior related to mineral intake. The solid, stable nature of the product allows for long shelf life and ease of handling, and it may also be used in comparative tests involving natural versus synthetic mineral supplements. For best results, it should be stored in a dry, cool place away from moisture.
