Egyptian Bulk Sea Salt — Agricultural Coarse

Rock Salt — Livestock Mineral Lick
Livestock Mineral Lick Block — Iodized Egyptian Rock Salt
Trace Mineral Rock Salt Blend — Cattle / Poultry Feed
Agricultural salt — livestock lick blocks, feed-grade salt and trace-mineral blends from Egyptian rock and sea salt
Agricultural salt serves two distinct duties: a feed-grade sodium source for ruminants, poultry and camels, and a coarse bulk salt for soil and fodder applications. The buyer's risk is contamination rather than purity — a feed salt with elevated lead or an unlabelled trace-mineral level is a herd-health problem, not a specification nuisance. Egypt Globe Group supplies five SKUs. Siwa Oasis and Qattara Depression rock salt at ≥ 97 % NaCl provides the agricultural coarse (3–5 mm) and lump (10–50 mm) grades and the feedstock for the compressed iodised lick block and the trace-mineral blend (Cu / Zn / Mn / Co / Fe / Se). North Sinai / Red Sea sea salt provides a raw coarse agricultural grade at ≥ 96 % NaCl for bulk feed-mix and soil use.
Supply runs from 5 kg and 10 kg blocks and 25 kg bags through 50 kg bags and 1 MT FIBC to bulk vessel, 240 MT containerised minimum, 2–4 weeks lead time. Feed-safe certification and GOEIC registration apply across the range. Feed compounders that have sourced from inconsistent regional exporters have received blocks that crumble in the field and blends whose mineral level was not what the label claimed. Egypt Globe Group's Quality Assurance division has operated since incorporation in 2014; specification is guaranteed at the port of loading and binding under the sales contract, and a lot outside its CoA is rejected at the port, never re-graded.

Agricultural salt — comparison across grades
NaCl by ISO 2481 (halogens as Cl); sieve by ISO 13320 / test sieve; insolubles by ISO 2479; bulk density by EN 1097-3. Rock-salt moisture is the natural mined value (typ. 1.0–1.5 %); kiln-dried to ≤ 0.25 %, ≤ 0.5 % or ≤ 1.0 % (winter) on request.
