Product Description
Ammonium Chloride (NH₄Cl) feed grade is a white crystalline salt primarily used as a nitrogen supplement in animal feed. It plays an important role in livestock nutrition, particularly for ruminants, by promoting urine acidification and preventing urinary stones (urolithiasis). This supplement helps in maintaining a proper electrolyte balance and supports protein metabolism. Ammonium chloride is commonly included in feed for cattle, sheep, and goats and is valued for its cost-effectiveness and efficiency in enhancing animal health and performance.

Applications
- Urinary Acidification in Livestock: Ammonium chloride is used to acidify urine in ruminants such as cattle, sheep, and goats, which helps prevent the formation of urinary calculi (kidney stones).
- Nitrogen Source in Animal Feed: It provides a supplemental nitrogen source that supports protein synthesis and metabolism in livestock.
- Feed Additive for Poultry: It can be added to poultry feed to regulate acid-base balance and enhance metabolic processes.
- Electrolyte Balancer: Ammonium chloride helps maintain the balance of electrolytes in the body, supporting overall animal health and preventing metabolic disorders.
- Growth and Performance Enhancer: By improving nutrient absorption and metabolic functions, it aids in better growth rates and feed efficiency in livestock.
