SAPPHIRE SODIUM BICARBONATE
SAPPHIRE SODIUM BICARBONATE
Sapphire Sodium Bicarbonate: It is a feed additive. Sodium bicarbonate is typically added to feed premixes or rations in specific amounts. The dosage can vary depending on the animal species, age, and health condition. Sodium bicarbonate is used to balance pH in acidic environments. For example, it can be added to rations made from low-fiber plants to prevent rumen acidosis in cattle and sheep. Rumen acidosis is a condition caused by excessive acidity in the rumen, and sodium bicarbonate helps neutralize the acidity, balancing the rumen pH. Managing acidosis can help stabilize milk fat and protein content. However, it should be noted that its strong base effect may impact rumen flora. For this reason, direct use should only be considered in cases of acute acidosis, and its use should be under the guidance of a veterinarian. Sodium bicarbonate is also an important compound for maintaining electrolyte balance.
