UltraCruz® Goat and Sheep Ammonium Chloride Supplement
- Helps maintain normal urinary pH levels, which may reduce likelihood of crystal formation.
- Supports healthy urinary function
UltraCruz® Goat and Sheep Ammonium Chloride Supplement is beneficial to aid in the reduction of urinary crystals in ruminants. An imbalance in minerals in the diet can alter the pH level of the urinary tract, leading to discomfort in male goat and sheep. Ammonium chloride helps maintain normal urinary pH levels, which may reduce likelihood of crystal formation.
