UltraCruz® Poultry Electrolyte Supplement for Chickens
- Helps keeps chickens healthy and hydrated
- For chickens of all stages of production
- Powder dissolves easily in poultry drinking water
- Can be used during times of stress to promote health in the flock
UltraCruz® Poultry Electrolyte Supplement for Chickens is a blend of vitamins and minerals designed to support flock health and help restore electrolyte levels in poultry following stress from heat, illness and other environmental changes. Heat stress is especially serious for chickens because of the difficulty in regulating their own body temperature. Excessive heat can put chickens at risk for an electrolyte imbalance due to mineral loss. These minerals may not always be replenished through their diet, which is why supplementation is so important to maintain a healthy and normal electrolyte balance.
Sodium is critical for normal nerve and muscle function as well as transport of many substances, such as glucose, across cell membranes. There is very little Sodium in forages and grains, and horses in intensive work or exposed to hot weather may not consume enough sodium in their diet, and therefore may require additional sodium supplementation.
