Desert Essentials (Pty) Ltd, established in 2025, is a proudly Namibian company specializing in the manufacture of high-quality salt lick blocks for livestock and horses, as well as dishwasher and water softener salt tablets. We use pure, locally sourced solar sea salt and natural minerals to create products that are free from additives, binders, and harmful chemicals. Our animal blocks are designed to let livestock self-regulate their mineral intake, supporting health, growth, fertility, and immunity. Particularly in areas with mineral-deficient soil and vegetation.
Our range includes mineral-infused salt blocks tailored for specific animal health benefits, flavoured horse licks, and pure salt tablets that improve appliance efficiency and hygiene. At Desert Essentials, we are committed to sustainability, purity, and animal well-being. Every product reflects our values: natural, effective, and built to meet the real-world needs of farms, stables, and homes across Namibia and beyond.
Our salt lick blocks use the purest natural ingredients with salt locally sourced in Namibia. There are no additives aside from the salt and the specified minerals, no binding agent, sediment or hidden chemicals! The blocks are compressed and are hard wearing in rain. They contain no urea so are not harmful when wet. A block form of salt allows animals to decide for themselves how much salt their body needs as daily needs vary. Naturally occurring minerals are not uniformly available, many areas have a low level of certain minerals in the soil and vegetation that requires supplementation to optimize animal health. By carefully adding minerals in quantities that meet daily requirements as balanced with a natural need for salt there is no risk of under or over-dosing as animals will instinctively decide how much salt they need. Available in a 20kg and a 10kg size block.
The following salt lick blocks are available in a 2kg size. They are circular with a hole in the middle so can be strung up for horses or any other livestock.
