Cobalt Iodized Salt

A fine-screened bag and block salt with cobalt and iodine that helps cattle, sheep, and goats synthesize vitamin B12 and plays a role in thermoregulation, intermediary metabolism, and reproductive growth and development. Iodine deficiencies in livestock can lead to goiter (an enlargement of the thyroid gland), a condition most often found in young animals. Cobalt iodized salt blocks are weather resistant for free choice feeding.

FAQ
- How does sodium deprivation occur in animals?
  Sodium deprivation can be precipitated by dietary, climatic and disease factors and occurs under the following conditions:
  - Rapidly growing animals given cereal-based diets that are inherently low in sodium
  - Animals grazing pastures on soils naturally low in sodium
  - Animals grazing pastures heavily fertilized with potassium
  - Lactating animals, particularly cows, secreting large amounts of sodium in mild climates
  - Tropical or hot, semi-arid climates, causing large losses of water and sodium in sweat
  - Heavy or intense physical work that causes profuse sweating
  - Animals with gut infections that cause diarrhea
  When one or more of these conditions exist continuously for long periods and extra salt is not provided, sodium deprivation is inevitable.
- What are the symptoms of cobalt mineral deficiency in animals?
  - Lack of appetite
  - Poor growth
  - In sheep, decrease in wool production and growth
  - In ruminants, vitamin B12 deficiency
- What are the symptoms of iodine mineral deficiency in animals?
  - Enlarged thyroid gland; goiter swell
  - Metabolic disorders; decrease in metabolic rate
  - Hair loss
  - Dry and scaly skin
- What are the symptoms of salt deficiency in animals?
  - Rough coats
  - Decreased performance
  - Unusual eating habits like consuming dirt or chewing on tool handles, trees, board fences or another animal’s mane or tail.
  - In poultry, an increase in pecking behavior, feather eating, general flock nervousness, and/or reduced egg production.
