Salting your barn pen floors?

[mzgarden]

Never heard of this -- was watching a YouTube video of someone who raises goats.  A comment was made that someone salts the dirt floors of their barn pen to prevent toxic mold.

I've never heard/read about this -- have you?

We always added some lime before rebedding. Never heard of using salt....James

Thanks James. We use lime as well, the salt kind of threw me.

I would think salt might intise animals to features on the ground....not every thing on the ground is been free or parasite clean!

I use line too but with all the minerals that get spilled, I am sure there is a good bit of salt on the floor too.
