Sodium Bicarbonate
Sodium Bicarbonate is a naturally occurring buffer commonly added to livestock feed, especially for ruminants like dairy cows, beef cattle, sheep, and goats. It plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal rumen pH by neutralizing excess acidity, helping prevent conditions like acidosis and supporting healthy digestion.
This fine, white, crystalline powder is odorless and highly palatable, making it easy to incorporate into feed rations or offer free choice.
Benefits
- Helps maintain stable rumen pH
- Reduces risk of digestive upset and acidosis
- Supports improved feed intake and nutrient absorption
- Enhances overall animal health and productivity
- Particularly valued in dairy cattle for stabilizing rumen fermentation and supporting consistent milk production
Feeding Instructions
Feed at a rate of 0.8 ounces per 10 pounds of milk production. Can be included in complete feed formulations or offered free choice.
