Sodium Bicarbonate 50 LB

About this product

• High energy rations can result in the production of more organic acids that can be handled by natural buffering systems.
• This can reduce appetite and milk fat percent in dairy animals, and reduce feed efficiency and rate of gain in beef cattle.
• This feed grade sodium bicarbonate, will help maintain the normal acid base balance in the rumen of beef and dairy cattle.
• As a beef or dairy animal eats roughage, saliva production is stimulated.
• On natural pasture a full grown animal can produce up to 45 gallons of saliva in a 24 hour period. This saliva will contain between two to four pounds of naturally occurring bicarbonate.
• When an animal is removed from pasture and placed on finely chopped or high energy rations, saliva production and bicarbonate production decrease.
• High energy, chopped rations are readily fermentable and will produce more acid in the rumen than roughage, so the animal’s need for this Sodium Bicarbonate increases.
• 50 lb bag
• This is a heavy package shipping cost will be $40.00 or more per bag.
• Please call for a pallet quote if you are interested in 10 bags or more
