At 4 pounds, it fits standard salt block holders and is light enough to transport to field feeders without difficulty. The formula contains salt, calcium, stearate, and mineral oil with no additional trace minerals or species-specific additives, making it a straightforward plain salt option rather than a fortified mineral block.

Whether This Salt Brick Fits Your Horse Stall, Livestock Feeder, or Wildlife Supplementation Setup
If you are managing horses, cattle, or other livestock and need a plain, high-purity salt supplement without added trace minerals or species-specific fortification, this brick delivers straightforward sodium chloride at a consistent quality standard. The 4-pound size is practical for individual stall feeding boxes or small herd pasture feeders where a standard-sized 50-pound block would be excessive.
It fits directly into a standard plastic or wire salt block holder without modification. For horse owners specifically, keeping a brick in the stall feed box is a low-maintenance way to provide free-choice salt access between farrier visits, vet checks, and regular feeding routines. For wildlife supplementation, the compact weight makes it easy to carry into a back field or wooded area and set out near a water source, where deer, groundhogs, and other animals will find and use it.
Because it contains no added copper or species-specific minerals, it is safe across multiple animal types without the restriction considerations that apply to goat or cattle-specific mineral blocks.
What to Expect from the North American Salt White Salt Brick in Real Use
Verified buyers have used this brick for horses in hot climates, stall and feed box supplementation, and backyard wildlife attracting. For horses, one buyer with a 27-year-old horse reports consistent consumption of approximately one brick per month in a warm climate, which gives a useful benchmark for how quickly horses in active use will cycle through them.
The 4-pound brick fits confirmed in a standard salt block holder without modification. For farm use where time is limited, the compact size and standard format makes it a practical product to order and use without any special setup.
For wildlife, buyers have placed the bricks alongside corn and fresh water and attracted deer, groundhogs, squirrels, raccoons, and various birds within the first few days of placement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a plain salt block or does it contain added minerals and trace elements?
This is a plain salt brick with 99 percent purity sodium chloride. The only additional ingredients are calcium, stearate, and mineral oil, which are binding and processing components rather than nutritional additives.
It does not contain added trace minerals, vitamins, or species-specific supplements like copper or selenium. If your animals need a fortified mineral block rather than plain salt, a purpose-formulated mineral block for their species would be a more appropriate choice alongside or instead of this product.
How long does a 4-pound salt brick typically last for a horse?
Consumption varies by individual animal, workload, climate, and whether the horse has access to other mineral sources. In hot climates where horses sweat more heavily and require higher sodium intake, consumption is faster.
As a field reference, one buyer reports a single horse consuming approximately one 4-pound brick per month in a warm outdoor environment. Horses in moderate climates or with lower activity levels will typically go through them more slowly. Monitoring how quickly your horse uses the block over the first one or two cycles gives you a reliable reorder baseline.
Can this salt brick be used for wildlife as well as domestic livestock?
Yes. The plain salt formula is appropriate for wildlife including deer, which seek out salt naturally as part of their mineral intake. At 4 pounds, the brick is light enough to carry to a back field or wooded area and place near a water source or alongside supplemental corn.
Deer typically find and begin using a salt block within a few days of placement. Because it contains no added copper or species-specific minerals, it is safe for the mixed wildlife species that share a feeding area.
