Sodium Bicarbonate | 25kg

Sodium bicarbonate is commonly known as baking soda. It is a white, crystalline powder that is soluble in water and has a variety of uses. The molecular formula of sodium bicarbonate is NaHCO₃. It is an inorganic salt, white crystalline powder, odorless, alkaline, and soluble in water.

It decomposes slowly in humid air or hot air to produce carbon dioxide, which is heated to 270 ℃ for complete decomposition.

Function of Sodium Bicarbonate;

1. It is used intravenously as a treatment for certain conditions, such as metabolic acidosis.
2. It accelerates the utilization of nutrients and the excretion of harmful substances.
3. It improves the weight gain rate of livestock and poultry.
4. It can keep the resistance and immunity of livestock and poultry in the best state
5. It plays a significant role in the realm of animal nutrition and feed production.
6. It plays a positive role in preventing livestock and poultry diseases and ensuring their healthy growth.

Application; Mainly applied as a food additive in the foodstuff industry and feed additives for animals such as poultry and ducks.

Buffering Agent:

• It acts as a buffering agent in animal feed, helping to stabilize the pH levels in the digestive tract of livestock.
• The pH of the digestive system is crucial for optimal nutrient absorption and overall animal health.
• In monogastric animals like pigs and poultry, maintaining the pH within the appropriate range ensures efficient digestion and absorption of nutrients from the feed.

Improving Feed Efficiency:

• By stabilizing the pH levels in the digestive tract, sodium bicarbonate can improve feed efficiency and nutrient utilization in livestock.
• When the pH is within the optimal range, digestive enzymes can function effectively, allowing for the efficient breakdown and absorption of nutrients from the feed
• This can result in better growth performance, feed conversion ratios, and overall animal productivity.
