Animal Nutrition Products
Sodium Bicarbonate plays an important role in animal nutrition today.  

Primarily used as a dairy cow feed supplement, the buffering capability of Natural Soda’s pure & natural feed grade sodium bicarbonate helps stabilize rumen pH by reducing acid conditions.  Dairy cows with diets high in grain concentration will benefit from supplemental buffering.  Sodium Bicarbonate improves rumen performance and dairy cow productivity.  Sodium Bicarbonate is preferred by many dairymen and nutritionist over alternative buffers due to its excellent buffering capabilities and superior palatability.  

Sodium Bicarbonate is also fed as a partial replacement for salt in poultry rations.  Broiler operations find that sodium bicarbonate provides an alternative source of sodium that assists with litter control by providing dryer litter and a healthier living environment.
