Yes. Salt is commonly used to feed livestock with as a "mineral" supplement. Straight NaCl isn't the best though because it doesn't contain all the essential minerals that an animal needs to function properly. A good mineral supplement is one that has all the minerals that an animal needs, depending on the species. For instance, mineral meant for cattle and horses is not good for sheep and goats because it contains copper. So in order to have a good mineral program one must have the minerals that a particular species needs in loose form, not block, and fed ad libitum. Salt is often put in with the loose mineral to entice livestock to eat the mineral.
