With the widespread use of automatic poultry cage systems, chickens are well taken care of, but there are some simple tricks that can help chicks convert feed well. For example, adding sodium bicarbonate to the diet or drinking water can improve feed intake and growth rate of broilers raised at high temperatures. Measurements of the retention of dietary or cation-anion balance or dietary electrolyte balance do not satisfactorily predict growth and/or feed conversion responses in broilers at elevated temperatures. The improvement in body weight does not appear to be associated with an increase in body water retention.

Dietary supplementation of various levels of NaHCO3

 Antibody titers against Newcastle disease were increased in chickens housed in battery chicken cages compared to diets not supplemented with Newcastle disease. Environmental stressors are known to directly or indirectly affect host immunity and innate resistance. Therefore, the increased antibody titers against Newcastle disease virus in flocks fed diets containing different levels of NaHCO3 may be due to lower body temperature or lower cortisol concentrations in these birds compared to controls Less heat stress, or both.

An increase in dietary electrolyte balance may lead to a decrease in the ratio of heterophile to lymphocytes in the blood, resulting in an increase in antibody titers. Therefore, it is safe to conclude that dietary supplementation of NaHCO3 may increase antibodies in poultry and reduce chicken sickness.

Supplementation of NaHCO3 to the laying hens showed higher protein digestibility in these flocks compared to controls. Protein consumed by birds is broken down into its constituent amino acids by certain enzymes in the digestive tract before being absorbed, and most of these amino acids require sodium for this process. Therefore, the increase in protein digestibility in the treatment group may be due to the presence of higher sodium ion concentrations in diets containing sodium bicarbonate.

Problem Description Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3), also known as baking soda, is 27.09% sodium, 71.91% bicarbonate, and contains no chlorides. It is an FDA-approved and "Generally Recognized as Safe" feed ingredient. Sodium bicarbonate is described as "a special ingredient because it provides sodium, beneficially affects blood pH, and provides beneficial bicarbonate.

The above is the important role of baking soda shared by poultry equipment manufacturers to promote digestion and enhance antibodies in the process of raising laying hens or broilers.

The widespread use of battery cage systems has expanded the number of poultry farming, and has also received government support and social attention. But for poultry farmers, raising poultry is one aspect, and paying attention to selling chicken and eggs is also an important aspect. You are not raising chickens for household use after all. Then enough attention must be paid to the marketing side of the business.

Methods of selling poultry

1. Bulk sales. Most of your poultry farmers rely on middlemen to help sell their products. They sell in bulk to other people, who in turn sell to consumers. If you want to sell faster then you should proactively find customers to sell poultry. This allows you to sell to retailers in addition to wholesalers.
2. Do business online. Today, the power of websites is very powerful. A large percentage of people use the internet every day, and if you want your business to thrive, you can't turn a blind eye to the internet. Your social media accounts are a great place to promote your business and increase product awareness.
3. Become a supplier to hotels and restaurants. Write a great proposal with well thought out incentives that you can send to hotel and restaurant managers. Proposed to be their main poultry meat and egg supplier. Foods made from poultry or eggs are always on the menu in hotels and restaurants, and they have to get their eggs from somewhere. You can help them get a regular supply of fresh eggs without stress.
4. Feed your bird. Yes, this is also a very important marketing concept. When you feed your birds well, they produce quality eggs. This is exactly what consumers like. If you want your product to be the first choice of consumers, then you must pay attention to the quality of the product you produce and your poultry farming; this means paying attention to supplementing your poultry, because good food equals good eggs and good chicken.

The above is what poultry equipment manufacturers share with poultry farmers on how to sell chicken and eggs more efficiently. From four aspects, I hope that every poultry farmer can obtain considerable benefits and be more confident in poultry farming. Live a better life with your family.
