The daily nutritional requirements per animal of salt is 2 to 3 grams of sodium and less than 5 grams of chloride for young growing animals. For lactating cows, they need 11 grams of sodium and 15 grams of chloride. All these numbers are on a per-day basis.
In terms of percentage of ration, sodium concentrations of 0.06% to 0.1% or ration dry matter for non-lactating yearlings and calves, and no more than 0.1% dry matter for lactating beef cows. Dairy cows may need a little more (probably no more than 0.2%) than beef cows because they are producing twice to thrice as much milk as beef cows typically do.
Despite these numbers, cattle should have no limited access to salt every day, provided they also have constant access to plenty of water.

Why are cattle so attracted to salt?
Because the plants that they eat do not contain sufficient amounts of sodium and chloride. Also, a lot of salt is lost as perspiration during warm weather or if they are being worked. Salt needs also increase during lactation and during periods of rapid growth. As such, cattle need to have access to salt at all times. The best type of salt you can supplement your animals with is either a trace-mineral block, a loose-mineral mix, or a cobalt-iodine-salt block. Loose minerals are much more recommended among many cattlemen than salt that comes in block form.
