Animal nutrition

We make sure that animals receive the nutrients they need

Animals cannot thrive without minerals. These nutrients support healthy physical development and positively influence performance and well-being. K+S feed products ensure that pets, livestock, wildlife, and even aquaculture receive a balanced supply of essential nutrients.

Salt provides important micronutrients

K+S salt licks provide sodium chloride and essential trace elements for both farm and wild animals. The licks are available in different sizes.

What minerals do what?

Pets and livestock need minerals for a balanced supply of nutrients. Here is a brief overview of the most important facts about potassium, sodium and magnesium:

Na

Among other things, sodium maintains the osmotic pressure in cells, regulates water balance, plays a significant role in the transmission of impulses in nervous tissue and stimulation in muscle fibers. Together with chlorine, it is indispensable for regulating the acid-base balance. Lack of sodium can lead to loss of appetite, poor performance and weight loss.

K

Potassium is one of the most important electrolytes in the body and is essential for cellular function. Potassium performs several tasks in metabolism, muscle activity and nerve function. Potassium is especially important for pets. It provides a balanced diet and can help prevent cardiovascular disease. In farm animals, potassium is used, for example, to treat heat stress. Since the body cannot store it, potassium must be consumed daily in sufficient quantities with food.

Mg

As an essential mineral, magnesium should be taken daily with food. It plays a central role for bones and nerve functions. Animals that suffer from severe stress can benefit from increased magnesium stores. For metabolism and muscle function, as well as for the cardiovascular system, magnesium intake is also essential. Magnesium in the form of sulfate is a valuable alternative to other magnesium compounds.
