Baking soda can be added to the forage at a ratio of about 2. Baking soda can generally be fed dry or wet, and can also be fed according to different seasons. In winter, You can choose dry feeding when feeding, which can prevent the wet feeding from freezing and causing the sheep to lose weight and have diarrhea. Baking soda is rich in sodium, and feeding it in an appropriate amount can effectively prevent strange eating in sheep. Baking soda can also neutralize the acidic substances in the concentrate to prevent acidosis in sheep.

1. The correct method and dosage of feeding baking soda to sheep

1. Add baking soda to the forage in a ratio of about 2, and add 4-6 times to each sheep. Grams are sufficient and can be fed twice a day.

2. Baking soda can generally be fed dry or wet. It can also be fed according to different seasons. For example, when the weather is cold in winter, in order to prevent the wet feeding from freezing, which will cause the sheep to lose weight and have diarrhea. You can choose dry feeding, or you can add it directly to the forage for feeding. Generally, you can add it at a ratio of about 2.

3. Sheep urine contains a large amount of mineral salts, which may easily lead to urinary stones if not excreted in time.

5. After baking soda enters the body of the sheep, carbon dioxide will be produced when the sheep metabolizes it. When the carbon dioxide is exhaled by the sheep, it will take away more heat, which can prevent heat stroke. Baking soda can also neutralize the acidic substances in the concentrate to prevent acidosis in sheep.

2. What harm will happen if you feed too much baking soda to sheep?

1. Feeding too much baking soda to sheep will cause alkalosis, edema, It affects central nervous system disorders in China and the Soviet Union.

3. Baking soda is cheap and has low feeding cost. As long as it is fed correctly, it will have no side effects on the sheep body or affect the meat quality. Baking soda is alkaline and can effectively neutralize the acid in the sheep's body, thereby improving the gastric tumor environment.

4. Especially for sheep fed with concentrated feed for a long time, the concentrated feed eaten in the stomach will produce a large amount of acid through fermentation. Generally, the extremely acidic environment is not suitable for the survival of ciliates and other microorganisms in the rumen. , feeding baking soda will help reduce their vitality and reduce the digestion and utilization of food in the rumen.
