Baking soda is an effective substance for regulating metabolism and acid-base balance in chickens. It has the function of promoting the growth of the chicken body, improving the production performance, enhancing the physical fitness and improving the disease resistance. Adding baking soda powder to the layer chicken feed can increase the concentration of sodium ions and bicarbonate ions in the blood of the chicken body, which is beneficial to the formation of egg shells; it can increase the activity of phosphorus in the feed and meet the requirement of phosphorus for the layer chickens. , Increase the hardness of egg shells, reduce the proportion of defective eggs such as soft-shelled preserved eggs, thin-shelled eggs, and deformed eggs; it can also increase the utilization of protein in layer diets and increase egg production. The method of adding baking soda powder to laying hens is: When the environment temperature of the flock is below 26°C, abnormal egg production of the chicken is found, and baking soda powder which accounts for 0.1% of the total amount of the diet can be added; if the ambient temperature exceeds 26°C, With the increase of the ambient temperature, the added baking soda flour will increase to 0.3% of the total diet, but it cannot be increased indefinitely. At the same time, it is necessary to reduce the amount of salt to prevent chicken poisoning due to excessive sodium intake. When the flock temperature reaches 30°C in summer, 0.25% baking soda flour and 0.2% salt are suitable for the diet, which can prevent the laying hen from producing abnormal eggs due to insufficient supply of calcium carbonate, and prevent excessive sodium in the chicken. Poisoning. Since baking soda will quickly decompose when it is hot, affecting the effect of use, it must be added to the cash flow. Otherwise, the effect will not be good.
