Salt as a remedy for cannibalism in poultry
Extension poultryman L M Black reports a simple salt remedy to curb cannibalism in flocks, citing experiments by Titus and Nestler and historical notes. Adding 1 to 2 percent salt to standard diets for four to five days can stop cannibalism without lasting harm, while noting reduced salt in feeds may contribute to the problem.
