  Baking soda (also known as sodium bicarbonate),White crystalline powder, soluble in water. Veterinary clinic is mainly used for the treatment of gastrointestinal catarrhal inflammation, sepsis and severe diarrhea, large area burns and neutralization of gastric acid and alkalization of urine. Adding baking soda to poultry feed can effectively improve the digestibility of poultry to feed, accelerate the utilization of nutrients and the excretion of harmful substances, increase the weight gain rate of poultry, improve the anti-stress ability of poultry, and prevent poultry diseases. It has a positive effect on ensuring its healthy growth. Moreover, in addition to the above effects of baking soda, there is an important use is to alleviate the heat stress of poultry.

  As we all know, poultry sweat glands are underdeveloped. In the high temperature season, they will discharge the stored heat in the body by increasing respiration and accelerate metabolism. For example, under the condition of insufficient energy or insufficient oxygen supply, cells metabolize lactic acid to increase body fluid acidity, I .e. metabolic acid increases (acidosis in severe cases). Baking soda is first absorbed by body fluid and can stabilize body fluidpHso as to ensure the normal cell metabolism, alleviate the heat stress. In addition, under heat stress, the loss of sodium and potassium in animals is serious, and this part of sodium can also be supplemented by baking soda.

   Clinically, in the high temperature season, poultry feed is added0.3%Baking soda, or add it to drinking water.0.2%The baking soda can effectively alleviate the heat stress of poultry, improve production performance and reduce feed consumption.
