  INCREASING USE IN ANIMAL FEED NUTRITION

  
  

With rising demand for various animal products, the agriculture industry is concentrating on increasing animal raising capacity. The need for animal feed is increasing as the dairy, chicken meat, and aquaculture sectors expand. This is increasing demand for sodium bicarbonate, which is used in animal feed. Sodium bicarbonate is used in the preparation of nutrition mixtures for poultry, cattle, and aqua products. Sodium bicarbonate is a significant source of sodium for cattle and poultry, and it adds salt to animal feed. Egg consumption is also increasing in several nations. The number of milking cows on dairy farms is growing. The aquaculture business is the main source of raw materials to the seafood industry. Quality animal feed is critical to the tremendous expansion in these businesses. Sodium bicarbonate is a significant addition for improving animal feed nutrition, which is driving growth in the sodium bicarbonate market due to rising demand for animal feed.

Currently, sodium bicarbonate is a significant component of animal diet. Sodium Bicarbonate NaHCO3 or Baking Soda is a chemical molecule having several applications in animal and poultry nutrition. Baking soda is regarded as a safe component for cattle and poultry food in the United States, and it is also authorised by the FDA. While sodium bicarbonate has a weak alkali characteristic, it has a proper buffering function and may maintain alkali and acid balance in animals' bodies by preventing rapid pH fluctuations. The use of buffering agents in animal feed is required to limit the detrimental effects of diet acidification, and as a result, buffering chemicals such as sodium bicarbonate are widely used in the feeding of cattle and poultry. In situations of acidosis, metabolic acidosis in cattle, the alkali property of sodium bicarbonate causes alkali and acid balance in the animal, and it can compensate for bicarbonate ion loss and decrease. The buffering property of pure and natural feed grade sodium bicarbonate, which is mostly utilised as a dairy cow feed additive, helps regulate rumen pH by lowering acidic conditions. In poultry feeds, sodium bicarbonate is often used as a partial substitute for salt. Sodium bicarbonate can replace one-third of the salt in chicken diets during the warm seasons. Grill operations have discovered that sodium bicarbonate is an alternate salt supply that aids in litter reduction by delivering drier litter and a healthier living habitat. Baking soda is now utilised in most chicken farms across the world, with an effective dosage of 2 to 3 kg per tonne. In the feed of dairy cattle, bovine baking soda is used as a supply of bicarbonate, and baking soda is utilised as a source of salt without chloride.

This December 2023 will witness a great increase in the prices of Sodium Bicarbonate in Europe as it is used as an essential ingredient across many industries especially baking. The demand for Sodium Bicarbonate usually soars due to massive baking activities before the festive season, which extends up to January during celebrations like New Year and Epiphany.
