Sodium Sesquicarbonate - Feed Ingredient
Sodium sesquicarbonate is a compound consisting of a mixture of sodium carbonate (Na₂CO₃) and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO₃). It is used in animal nutrition for its buffering capacity and as a source of sodium. In equine and livestock feeds, it serves multiple functions.
As a source of sodium, it provides an essential electrolyte that plays a critical role in maintaining fluid balance, nerve function, and muscle contraction. It also acts as a buffering agent, helping to stabilize pH levels in the digestive tract.
The following equine feeds, supplements and products contain Sodium Sesquicarbonate as an ingredient.
