Description
Electrolyte Mix for poultry and small livestock
Electrolyte mix for chickens, pigeons and chicks.
Complementary feed that dissolves easily in (drinking) water. Provides a balanced mix to replenish important electrolytes, bicarbonate and energy and supports digestion and a good fluid balance.
Electrolytes are especially important during periods of high temperatures. Birds such as chickens and pigeons cannot sweat and will try to lose heat by panting, spreading their wings and raising their feathers. In addition, feed intake drops and the animals are less active. A further effect of panting is that the CO 2 level in the blood falls, causing the blood pH to rise. To compensate for this, urine production increases, so the animals lose extra fluid, electrolytes and bicarbonate and are at risk of dehydration.
Electrolytes are also important to support recovery after exertion or illness. Due to reduced feed and water intake, these animals also need electrolyte replenishment to stimulate feed and water intake and support digestion.
Can be used for
- Periods of high temperatures
- Supporting recovery after exertion or illness
- Supporting digestion
- A good fluid balance
- Supporting feed intake, growth and egg quality
Feeding advice
Alongside the drinking water:
At the first signs of discomfort in high temperatures (panting, spread wings) and to support recovery, dissolve 25 g per litre of water and make freely available. Always provide sufficient drinking water in a separate water source in addition to the electrolyte mix.
Directly via the drinking water:
Dissolve 2.5 g per litre in the drinking water and give for 1-7 days.
