What is sodium bicarbonate used for in feed?
Bicar®Z is a safe, 100% natural sodium bicarbonate that supports the growth and well-being of livestock. The high buffering capacity and sodium intake of Bicar®Z are demonstrated at all levels and for several properties. It’s easy to use, and can safely be given to ruminants, pigs, poultry and shrimps alike. Bicar®Z helps to prevent acidosis and considerably increases livestock productivity by allowing, amongst others, cows to produce up to 3,6 L more milk everyday.
From our manufacturing plants to your animals, the purity of the product is guaranteed. The Solvay group is a world leader in chemistry.
