Why Agricultural Businesses Choose Gunther Salt’s Stock Salt
Livestock are a source of livelihood for people everywhere. But livestock require more attention — especially when it comes to proper nutrition. In the agricultural business, many turn to Gunther Salt to keep their animals healthy through high-quality stock salt. Read on to learn how Gunther Salt’s feed-mixing product stands above the rest and how you can start your order today.
The Importance of Quality Feed-Mixing Salt
Salt maintains the balance of all living things — ensuring that animals retain sufficient water and nutrient levels. This balance is crucial to many functions, such as reproduction, muscle movement, blood flow, water retention and sweating.
Notably, livestock salt helps livestock animals reach and maintain a healthy weight. Adding salt to an animal’s diet can prompt them to drink more water and subsequently seek out more food. This cycle encourages animals to eat the proper amount each day and reach the recommended nutrient requirements.
Feed-mixing salt fills the daily salt requirements not met by plants eaten in grazing fields. However, each agricultural business must choose its stock salt supplier wisely. In the chaos of caring for livestock animals, your salt should be both clean and easy to use.
Beyond the agricultural industry, salt is largely beneficial to pet food production for cats, dogs and beyond. Salt is a natural preservative that can extend the shelf life of bagged food without negatively impacting the health of pets. Salt products also absorb moisture, protecting the products by preventing mold and bacteria growth.
The Gunther Difference
Countless business owners choose Gunther Salt as their salt provider for animals such as hogs, dairy cows, chickens, turkeys and companion animals. But you may be wondering — why should I?
We understand your animals are important, so we dedicate ourselves to deriving high-quality salt from natural sources. Our feed-mixing salt is sodium chloride sourced directly from salt mines in Louisiana. Geologists believe these deposits resulted from saltwater oceans that spanned across the region millions of years ago. As they evaporated, sheets of naturally occurring salt were left behind — which agricultural businesses still use to this day.
Additionally, our team promises quality with every use. Stock salt is predisposed to clumping together, especially when stored in humid conditions. However, Gunther Salt’s feed-mixing salt has proven time and time again to be more free-flowing and clean than other feed-mixing salt in the market. Bulk feed-mixing salt is available in 50# bags or tote bags, giving you a hefty supply that keeps your operation running smoothly.

Whether you have a few companion animals, fields full of cattle or hundreds of pets awaiting your bagged food, we offer a range of ordering options. Our team promises quick, efficient turnaround on each order to get your agricultural business or pet food organization the products you need with industry leading shorter lead times.
When you’re ready, the Gunther team is willing to answer your questions and make the ordering process as easy as possible. Bulk and bag orders of stock salt can be placed by emailing orders@gunthersalt.com or by calling 314-241-7075.
