Term that I am having difficulty translating: Salero

Context: El control de mineralización debe ser hecho periódicamente a través de chequeos semanales a cada sector de pastoreo y a los dormideros para verificar la disponibilidad en los salero.
I know that salero can mean both "salt-shaker" and "shower-head." However, is there a proper agricultural term in English for "salero," or is it best to just translate it as "container/receptable for salt"?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Muchas gracias por toda la ayuda Smarttranslators y Franglish!
Hola Kristin He encontrado esta definición. ¿Podría ser? Salero: Cubo de hierro con entalladura central semiesférica para apoyo y giro del borrón del árbol del molino de agua, o el extremo inferior de la lavija del molino harinero.
