The role of Sodium Bicarbonate in feed

02 May,2023

Sodium bicarbonate, also known as baking soda, is an essential product in our daily lives, and it is cheap and has weak alkalinity. It has many unknown effects in pig production. baking soda can regulate the acidity and alkalinity of livestock and poultry bodies, maintain a relatively stable environment, and improve body resistance and immunity. Baking soda can neutralize stomach acid, dissolve mucus, reduce the viscosity of digestive juices, and promote gastrointestinal contraction. It has the effects of strengthening the stomach, suppressing acid, and enhancing appetite, thereby improving the digestion ability of livestock and poultry for feed and accelerating the utilization of nutrients. At the same time, baking soda is also the main buffering substance in the blood and tissues, which can increase blood pH and alkaline reserves, helping the pig body resist stress reactions. How to make good use of this low-cost material in pig production and achieve unexpected results? 1、 Promote growth and weight gain Adding baking soda to pig feed can effectively improve the digestibility of the feed, accelerate the utilization of nutrients and the excretion of harmful substances, and increase the weight gain rate of pigs. Adding 0.5% baking soda to the diet of piglets can increase their feed intake and daily weight gain by about 10%; Adding 3-4 grams of baking soda to each finishing pig per day can reduce feed consumption by about 10%. The addition method is to add 0.3% baking soda to pig feed, mix well, and then feed it. 2、 Neutralize gastric acid Sodium bicarbonate is a weak alkali, which can neutralize gastric acid, reduce the acidity of stomach contents and reduce pain. It is mainly used in veterinary clinic to treat gastrointestinal catarrhal inflammation and prevent gastric mucosa from being damaged. Sodium bicarbonate is added to the feed, and the dosage is 2-5g for pigs at a time for 15 days. 3、 Has a stomach strengthening and digestive promoting effect Due to the carbon dioxide gas produced during the neutralization of gastric acid by baking soda, it can stimulate the gastric wall and reflexively promote the secretion of gastric juice. At the same time, because the hydrochloric acid in the stomach is neutralized, the pH value of stomach contents increases, which can stimulate the secretion of Gastrin in the pylorus part of the stomach, promote the secretion of gastric juice, and thus produce the stomach strengthening effect. In addition. When the contents of the stomach become alkaline in a short time, it can alleviate the spasm of the pyloric sphincter caused by excessive gastric acid, which is conducive to the emptying of the stomach. Sodium bicarbonate can also dissolve mucus, regulate gastrointestinal function and improve slightly. When pigs experience indigestion and anorexia, they should add 2-5 grams twice a day for several consecutive days. 4、 Alkaline urine Whether it's boars, sows, big pigs, or piglets, it's possible to have white urine. Some have white urine, some have white flocs in their urine, some have white urine sticking to the external genitalia, and some have white crystals formed on the ground when using sulfonamide drugs. In these cases, baking soda has the effect of alkalizing urine. Recommended by a licensed veterinary physician at Zhubing Tong: Adding 0.5% baking soda to the feed while using sulfonamide drugs can prevent damage to the kidneys caused by metabolites and accelerate the excretion of weakly acidic drugs. 5、 Prevent diarrhea and dehydration to alleviate acidosis Adding 2% sodium bicarbonate to the diet of postpartum lactating sows can enhance their physical fitness, prevent the occurrence of yellow and white dysentery in piglets, and increase the survival rate of piglets by 5%. Drink oral rehydration salts for pigs with diarrhea and dehydration. The formula is 2.5 grams of sodium bicarbonate, 3.5 grams of sodium chloride, 1.5 grams of potassium chloride, and 20 grams of glucose. Warm up 1000 milliliters of water and drink freely. The medication is prepared immediately to prevent dehydration and acidosis caused by diarrhea in pigs. 6、 Preventing heat stress In the hot summer, adding baking soda powder to the feed is beneficial for pig body heat dissipation and cooling. Because after baking soda enters the pig body, the carbon dioxide produced by its decomposition is excreted through respiration, and a large amount of carbon dioxide is also excreted along with a large amount of heat, which can play a role in preventing heatstroke. Under heat stress, the loss of sodium and potassium in pigs is severe, and this portion of sodium can also be supplemented with baking soda. Adding 250 milligrams of baking soda per kilogram of feed during the hot season can effectively alleviate the adverse effects of heat stress on pigs. Veterinary Reminder: 1. Baking soda is unstable and easily decomposes in humid environments, making it unsuitable for prolonged use. 2. It should be

What is the dehumidification principle of calcium chloride?

06 Mar,2023

Principle of calcium chloride desiccant bag 1. At present, the chemical composition of the commonly used moisture-proof and dehumidifier materials is mainly calcium chloride and silica gel. Calcium chloride is a deliquescent white crystal with granular, massive or lamellar structure; It has strong hygroscopicity and is liquid after absorbing moisture. The upper layer of this type of hygroscopic box is covered with a film, the middle layer is hygroscopic agent, and the bottom layer is water storage layer. 2. When the hygroscopic agent absorbs the moisture in the air of the cabinet, it will turn into liquid flowing to the bottom. At first, when the hygroscopic agent is still at a high concentration, the hygroscopic rate is fast. Once the humidity of the space drops to a certain degree, the hygroscopic rate will slow down. If the humidity of the environment has not increased, the life of the hygroscopic agent will be extended. The amount of water molecular weight per unit volume and the probability of movement collision. For example, if the moisture in the cabinet is reduced from 90% to 60%, the hygroscopic agent may have consumed about half, but at this time, the water molecules in the air in the cabinet are also reduced by 30%, and the probability of water molecules flowing collision and reacting with the hygroscopic agent through the film is reduced. The principle of using calcium chloride as dehumidifier: it can absorb water molecules in the air and reduce the humidity in the air depending on the strong hygroscopicity of calcium chloride. Use: Calcium chloride has a wide range of uses. Industrial grade calcium chloride can be used as oil drilling, desiccant, snow melting agent, refrigerant, coagulant, etc. Food grade calcium chloride is mostly used as food additives, which can play a role in coagulation, preservation, thickening, nutrition and other effects. Calcium chloride aqueous solution is an important refrigerant for refrigerators and ice making. It can accelerate the hardening of concrete and increase the cold resistance of building mortar. It is an excellent building antifreeze. It is used as a port defogger, road dust collector and fabric fire retardant. Calcium chloride is a solid particle of porous block. It can remove moisture and odor by adsorbing active static dehumidification and odor. The adsorption process is a physical reaction. Use the physical properties of calcium chloride. Calcium chloride, the main raw material of calcium chloride desiccant, is refined from calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid through reaction synthesis, filtration, evaporation concentration, drying and other processes. White porous block, granular or honeycomb solid. The taste is slightly bitter and odorless. The aqueous solution is colorless. It is mainly used as raw material for inorganic chemical production of other calcium salts; It is also used as a desiccant for gases, and as a calcium fortifier, curing agent, chelating agent, desiccant, etc. in the food industry. Calcium chloride desiccant has the functions of adsorption, static dehumidification and odor removal.
