White Solvay Feed Grade Sodium Bicarbonate

BICAR®Z is a high-quality animal nutrition Sodium Bicarbonate. Is a chloride and Sulphur free with Sodium 27%. While it keeps the animal healthy by optimising the electrolyte balance which give several benefits.

• optimizes the feeding regime,
• reduces heat stress disorders,
• meets the individual animal’s and livestock’s biological needs,
• improves feed efficiency.

For Ruminants - The best buffer and source of sodium

Regularly supplemented in ruminant diets and in case of heat stress, BICAR®Z helps controlling disorders of the body:
• it provides two important elements, bicarbonate and sodium,
• it corrects the Dietary Cation-Anion Balance (DCAB = Na + K - Cl - S) and optimizes feed efficiency,
• it helps to reduce ruminal and metabolic acidosis by correcting the alkaline level in the blood.
• It also contributes to preventing complications related to ruminal acidosis: laminitis, drop in milk production, increase in mastitis…,
• it helps to avoid weight loss in early lactation,
• it is essential in case of heat stress to keep ruminal acidosis under control and to re-build sodium stores.

For Poultry - The best source of sodium to improve performances

According to the type of diet, BICAR®Z has several benefits:

Chicken and Turkeys:

• increases body weight, diet conversion and feed intake,
• reduces water intake by 5%, thereby improving litter conditions,
• maintains a correct electrolyte balance range (EB = Na + K - Cl) by providing chlorine-free sodium,
• reduces disorders caused by ascites,
• improves performance of chicken under heat-stress conditions.

Layers:

• significantly enhances egg quality: eggshell thickness, egg quantity and specific weight.

For Swine - Improving the growth

BICAR®Z maintains a correct electrolyte balance range by providing chlorine-free sodium.

• Piglets: increases the average daily gain and the body weight after weaning
• Pigs: improves the feed intake and the growth
• Sows: optimizes the lactation, the survival of the piglets and the recovery of the sows at the end of lactation.

BICAR®Z optimizes the feed intake and the growth of swine. Moreover, it helps to maintain pH in digestive system.

• Improves preventive action of organic acids while maintaining a good pH
• Helps to prevent gastric ulcers
• Stimulate the reduction of hoof diseases

Finally, BICAR®Z improves meat quality (tenderness and juice) without modifying the colour and the taste.
