SALT! SALT!! SALT!!!
Salt, a common household ingredient but performs much more than kitchen functions.
Salt,(NACL) can be used in a variety of ways,to keep pathogenic bacteria at bay and also prevent ant infestation. Salt aside from its common kitchen use to flavor foods it can also be used in the following ways;
a) preservation of food: salting and drying of meat/ fish is an effective means of food preservation.
b)odor control: rubbing salt on chopping board and knives used to cut fish removes fish odor.
Salt can also be used to control ant infestation, ants though tiny can be so annoying not to mention the damage done to property,vegetables,clothes and also a stress factor on the farm.Salt can be used to kill ants by making a full strength salt-water solution and spraying the areas in the home.
Salt is also beneficial in the raw form(unmixed), large amount of salt can be sprayed along the course of the ants, on the anthill and around the entrance of the house.
The un mixed salt is of importance in the farms especially in poultry and also in barns.
The salt is sprayed around the farm perimeter,at the entrance and exits of the farms.The drains round the farm,and poultry houses are sprayed with the salt to prevent ant infestation.
Salt can also be used as a potential weed killer, just make a full strength of salt water solution and spray in the affected areas for 3 days.
Salt is important in feed formulation if we desire to get the best out of these animals: in poultry if the required amount is not present in feed, this can result in pecking in birds,also it can cause a sharp drop in egg production in layers.
Salt deficiency in pig ratio results in hairless pigs.
Salt in fish farming is of value to treat protozoa diseases and gill worms.Salt does more than giving food taste,its handy on the farm as well.
Salt it out,its simple,handy and non toxic.
SALT IN THE MIX# TREAT IT#PREVENT IT.
