TCE's refined sodium bicarbonate (Alkakarb®) is ideally suited for poultry feed and diet for dairy animals. It is of particular value as a non-chloride source of sodium in poultry diets. Bicarbonate is also essential for strengthening eggshell quality under intensive production systems. When added to diets for dairy animals, sodium bicarbonate effectively counters the acidity of silage- and cereal-based concentrates, maintaining feed pH at its optimum level.Our sister company British Salt produces vacuum salt which forms a vital component of cattle licks as it provides much-needed salt and minerals to dairy livestock and acts as a supplement their normal diet. Cattle licks are available either as plain salt blocks or mineralised salt blocks that also contain essential nutrients such as cobalt, zinc, iron, copper, manganese and iodine. The supplements present in mineralised salt blocks enhance the milk production in milch cattle and keeps them healthy by regulating their metabolism.
Our sodium carbonate is also used in animal feed applications.
