Sodium Humate powder

Ingredient: Sodium Humate 60%

Main Indications in

Animal Husbandry

Sodium Humate (60% purity)

is applicable to common livestock

(cattle, pigs, sheep), poultry (chickens, ducks, geese), and aquatic animals (fish, shrimp).

Its key roles include:

Gastrointestinal Health Regulation

Preventing and alleviating diarrhea:

Adsorbs intestinal pathogens (e.g., E. coli, Salmonella, rotavirus) and toxins (e.g., mycotoxins, endotoxins) to reduce intestinal irritation. It is effective for post-weaning diarrhea in piglets, infectious diarrhea in calves, and enteritis in broilers.

Protecting intestinal mucosa:

Forms a protective film on the intestinal epithelial surface, reducing damage from gastric acid, digestive enzymes, or harmful substances. It also promotes the repair of damaged mucosal cells, improving intestinal barrier function.

Regulating gut flora: Inhibits the proliferation of harmful bacteria while promoting the growth of beneficial flora (e.g., Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium), balancing the intestinal microecology.

Improving Feed Utilization

Binds to mineral elements (e.g., iron, zinc, calcium) in feed to form chelates, enhancing their absorption rate by animals.

Reduces the loss of nutrients (e.g., proteins, vitamins) caused by intestinal disorders, improving feed conversion efficiency (FCE) and reducing feed costs.

Enhancing Disease Resistance

Stimulates the development of animal immune organs (e.g., thymus, spleen, bursa of Fabricius in poultry) and increases the activity of immune cells (e.g., macrophages, lymphocytes), improving resistance to bacterial/viral infections.

Alleviates stress responses (e.g., weaning stress in piglets, heat stress in broilers, transport stress in cattle) by regulating hormone levels (e.g., reducing cortisol secretion) and maintaining metabolic stability.

Mycotoxin Detoxification

Adsorbs common mycotoxins in feed (e.g., aflatoxin, ochratoxin, zearalenone) to form insoluble complexes, preventing toxins from being absorbed by the animal’s digestive tract. It is often used as an adjuvant to mycotoxin binders in moldy feed.

Aquatic Animal-Specific Benefits

Improves water quality:

Adsorbs organic pollutants (e.g., residual feed, feces) and harmful substances (e.g., ammonia nitrogen, nitrite) in aquaculture water, reducing the risk of aquatic animal diseases (e.g., gill rot, enteritis in fish).

Enhances anti-stress and disease resistance in fish/shrimp:

Reduces mortality caused by environmental changes (e.g., temperature fluctuations, pH changes) or pathogenic infections (e.g., Vibrio).

Feed Dosage Guidelines (60% Purity Sodium Humate)

Sodium humate is typically added to complete feed or concentrated feed as a powder. The dosage is calculated based on the mass percentage of the active component (60% purity) and adjusted according to animal species, growth stage, and application purpose (e.g., prevention vs. treatment, daily health care vs. stress relief).

Livestock (Pigs, Cattle, Sheep)

Poultry (Chickens, Ducks, Geese)

Aquatic Animals (Fish, Shrimp)

Aquatic Species	Growth Stage	Application Purpose	Dosage (Added to Feed or Water)	Notes
Fish (e.g., tilapia, carp, catfish)	Fry	Improve survival rate, prevent gill disease	0.5%–0.8% (5–8 kg/ton of feed)	Mix with fry feed; avoid water application (may affect fry respiration).
	Adult fish	Improve disease resistance, reduce ammonia nitrogen stress	0.3%–0.5% (3–5 kg/ton of feed) or 1–2 g/m³ (water application)	Water application: Dilute with water and spray evenly; repeat every 7–10 days.
Shrimp (e.g., whiteleg shrimp, prawns)	Larvae	Prevent Vibrio infection, improve molting	0.8%–1.0% (8–10 kg/ton of feed)	Critical for larval stage (high mortality risk).
	Adult shrimp	Improve meat quality, reduce stress	0.5%–0.8% (5–8 kg/ton of feed)	Increase to 1.0% during high-temperature seasons (prevents black gill disease).
