And salt lick
A mineral lick also known as a salt lick is a place where animals can go to lick essential mineral nutrients from a deposit of salts and other minerals. Mineral licks can be naturally occurring or artificial such as blocks of salt that farmers place in pastures for livestock to lick. Natural licks are common, and they provide essential elements such as phosphorus and the biometals sodium , calcium , iron , zinc , and trace elements required in the springtime for bone , muscle and other growth in deer and other wildlife, such as moose , elephants , tapirs , cattle , woodchucks , domestic sheep , fox squirrels , mountain goats and porcupines. Such licks are especially important in ecosystems with poor general availability of nutrients. Harsh weather exposes salty mineral deposits that draw animals from miles away for a taste of needed nutrients.

Mineral content is quite variable in tropical plants and soils, and mineral uptake is complicated by many different factors. Salt licks can provide the minerals that are often lacking, such as phosphorus, sodium, calcium and magnesium. It is possible, however, to make your own salt lick out of local ingredients. Different materials can be put into salt licks to provide the necessary nutrients. The simplest recipe for making a salt lick comes from Ibrahima Diallo of Veterinarians Without Borders published in Baobab 21, December
