Tithebarn are the U.K.'s principal manufacturer of salt lick blocks. We work very closely with a major processor of salt, who have a very high reputation for outstanding quality and value.

Our factory located in Cheshire, is an area of vast underground salt deposits left behind since the Ice Age. The Romans, during their occupation of England, immediately recognised the potential and began salt production by collecting saturated brine and evaporating it in open pans. This has changed considerably over the years, although the basic concept remains the same.

Today salt is extracted by a series of bore holes sunken into the ground. Water is forced down from the surface to dissolve and the resulting brine is then pumped to the surface for purification. Carried by pipeline to another plant the process of purification and drying continues and unwanted elements are removed. Purity is assured by a quality system registered to ISO 9002.

At our modern factory the salt is then skilfully blended with trace elements and/or other minerals and pressed into blocks of 10kgs, 5kgs or 2kgs. These are weather resistant and will withstand extreme weather conditions, thereby benefitting live stock all year round by providing salt and minerals for good appetite, production, fertility and growth.



Our standard range of salt blocks are called 'ROCKIES' and can be seen in most major merchant outlets in the U.K.

Tithebarn recognise that all farming situations are not the same and therefore offer a unique service, whereby we will manufacture salt licks to clients' specifications and in own brand packing if preferred.

Whilst salt licks are our main Export line, we can also offer an extensive range of animal health and nutritional products; brief details of which can be found on the following pages and contained in our catalogue available from the address below.
