Electrolyte mix for small livestock<\/span><\/h2>\n

Electrolyte mix for chickens, pigeons and chicks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Supplementary feed that can be easily dissolved by the (drinking) water. Provides a balanced mix to supplement important electrolytes, bicarbonate and energy and supports digestion and proper fluid balance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Electrolytes are particularly important during periods of elevated temperatures. Birds such as chickens and pigeons cannot sweat and will try to lose heat through panting and spreading their wings and opening their feathers. In addition, feed intake decreases and the animals are less active. An additional effect of panting is that CO2<\/sub>-levels in the blood will decrease, increasing blood pH. To compensate, urine production is increased, causing the animals to have an additional loss of fluid, electrolytes and bicarbonate, putting them at risk for dehydration.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, electrolytes are important to support recovery after exercise or after illness. These animals also need supplementation of electrolytes due to reduced feed and water intake in order to stimulate feed and water intake and support digestion.<\/span><\/p>\n
