Product Description

1. Product Overview

Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), commonly known as baking soda, is a white crystalline powder with no odor and a slightly salty taste. As a feed additive, it primarily helps regulate acid-base balance in animals, improves digestion, and enhances feed utilization efficiency.

2. Specifications

  • Chemical Name: Sodium Bicarbonate
  • Molecular Formula: NaHCO3
  • Purity: ≥99%
  • Appearance: Fine white crystalline powder
  • Solubility: Highly soluble in water (weak alkaline solution, pH ~8.4)
  • Packaging: 25kg or 50kg/bag, moisture-proof lined

3. Key Benefits & Functions

• Acid-Base Balance Regulation: Neutralizes stomach acid and prevents metabolic acidosis (e.g., rumen acidosis in dairy cows). Maintains stable blood and body fluid pH levels.

• Digestive Health Improvement: Stimulates gastric acid secretion for better protein and fiber digestion. Reduces heat stress in poultry and livestock (especially in hot climates).

• Performance Enhancement: Improves eggshell thickness for Layers, boosts weight gain and FCR for Broilers/Pigs, and optimizes rumen fermentation for Ruminants.

• Partial Salt Replacement: Balances electrolytes while reducing risks of excessive sodium intake.

4. Recommended Dosage

Animal Dosage (per ton of feed) Special Use
Layers1-3 kgEggshell quality
Broilers/Ducks1-2 kgHeat stress relief
Swine2-5 kgGrowth promotion
Dairy Cows100-200 g/head/dayAcidosis prevention
Aquafeed0.5-1.5 kgWater pH adjustment

5. Competitive Advantages

  • Natural & Safe: Non-toxic, no withdrawal period required.
  • Cost-Effective: Affordable alternative to salt and other buffers.
  • Multifunctional: Supports both nutrition and health management.

6. Precautions

  • Overdose Risk: May cause alkalosis or diarrhea (especially in poultry).
  • Compatibility: Avoid direct mixing with acidic compounds (e.g., vitamin C).
  • Storage: Keep sealed in dry conditions to prevent moisture absorption.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary role of Sodium Bicarbonate in animal feed?
It acts as a vital buffering agent that maintains the acid-base balance, prevents acidosis in ruminants, and improves overall digestive efficiency.
How does it help poultry during hot weather?
During heat stress, poultry lose CO2 through panting. Sodium Bicarbonate restores the bicarbonate levels in the blood, helping to maintain performance and eggshell quality.
Is there a withdrawal period for this additive?
No, Sodium Bicarbonate is a natural and safe mineral supplement. It requires no withdrawal period before slaughter or the use of animal products.
Can it replace common salt in diets?
It can partially replace Sodium Chloride (NaCl) to provide sodium without the chloride, which is beneficial in specific electrolyte balance formulations.
What are the storage requirements?
It should be stored in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area. Keep the bags tightly sealed to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
Are there any compatibility issues with other additives?
Yes, avoid direct mixing with acidic substances like organic acids or Vitamin C, as they can react and neutralize each other.
