Salt can improve the palatability of diets, promote appetite and increase feed utilization. If the salt in the diet of the chicken is insufficient, it will cause loss of appetite and digestive disturbances. The growth of chicks will be delayed and there will be paralysis. The weight and weight of laying hens will be reduced and the egg production rate will be reduced. The amount of salt in the diet of chicken should be 0.37%~0.5%, and the dosage must be accurate.
The salt content of the animal feed should be taken into consideration when formulating the diet, and then the amount of supplemental salt should be determined. If salted fishmeal is used in rations, it must first be analyzed for its salt content, otherwise salt poisoning is often caused by excess salted fish meal. Chlorine and sodium are present in body fluids, soft tissues, and eggs of chickens to maintain the acid-base balance of the body, maintain the balance of osmotic pressure between the cells and the blood, and maintain a constant moisture level in the body.
