Agricultural & Livestock
Livestock lick blocks, iodised feed-grade salt, trace-mineral blends (Cu / Zn / Mn / Co / Fe / Se), soil-conditioning salt and the fertilizer range — urea, SSP / TSP, MOP / SOP, sulphur — with per-lot CoA before B/L.
Agricultural and livestock salt — feed, lick blocks, soil conditioning
Animal-feed manufacturers, dairy + cattle + sheep + poultry farmers, equestrian operations and agricultural soil-conditioning programmes use feed-grade salt + iodized livestock salt + trace-mineral blocks across global agricultural markets. Egypt Globe Group ships feed-safe Egyptian rock salt from the Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression mines (≥ 97.00 % NaCl) + iodized lick blocks + trace-mineral blends to feed mills and farms worldwide, and pairs them with the Fertilizers division's urea, phosphates, potash and sulphur for the same agricultural buyers.
Feed-grade salt is regulated as a feed material: a heavy-metal excursion or an iodine dose outside the declared range is a non-compliance for the feed mill under EU Directive 2002/32/EC. The group's Quality Assurance division tests every lot at the port laboratory and issues the Certificate of Analysis before the B/L; lots outside specification are rejected at the loading port — never re-graded.
