The Strategic Application of Electrolyte Balance to Minimize Heat Stress in Broilers
According to a study published in the Brazilian Journal of Poultry Science, broiler susceptibility to heat stress increases significantly when air relative humidity and environmental temperature values exceed the thermal comfort zone. This heightened susceptibility impairs the birds’ ability to dissipate heat, leading to detrimental effects on their health and performance.
The study highlights the crucial roles of minerals such as potassium (K+), sodium (Na+), and chloride (Cl-) in maintaining metabolic functions. These electrolytes are vital for osmotic balance, acid-base equilibrium, and the integrity of mechanisms that regulate the transport of substances across cell membranes.
Nutriaid Soda has been strategically formulated to provide the precise electrolyte balance needed to optimize broiler performance. By ensuring an adequate supply of essential minerals, Nutriaid Soda helps maintain osmotic and acid-base balances, thereby supporting the physiological functions necessary for heat dissipation.
Incorporating Nutriaid Soda into broiler diets can significantly mitigate the negative impacts of heat stress, improving overall performance and ensuring the health and well-being of your poultry during challenging environmental conditions.
