Usage Note
Salgar is a rural, livestock-farming term meaning to give salt to grazing animals so they lick it. It is far less common than the general verb salar (to add salt to food), which learners should use in everyday contexts.
Examples
"El pastor salía a salgar el rebaño."
Natural Translation
The shepherd went out to give salt to the flock.
