Potassium Bicarbonate - Feed Ingredient
Potassium bicarbonate, also known as potassium hydrogen carbonate (KHCO₃), is a white, crystalline compound commonly used in food and feed industries as a buffering agent, leavening agent, or source of potassium. In equine nutrition, it may be used in feed formulations or supplements to provide a dietary source of potassium, an essential electrolyte and mineral.
Potassium is vital for numerous physiological functions in horses, including nerve transmission, muscle function, and acid-base balance. Potassium bicarbonate may be included in formulations to help maintain electrolyte balance, particularly in performance horses that may lose significant amounts of potassium through sweat.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Potassium Bicarbonate as an ingredient.
