The vacuum salt and sodium bicarbonate manufactured by Tata Chemicals are the trusted choice of farmers and dairy owners for cattle and poultry feed

Vacuum salt
Vacuum salt forms a vital component of cattle licks, which provide much-needed salt and minerals to dairy livestock and supplement their normal diet.

Cattle licks available either as plain salt blocks or mineralised salt blocks. Plain salt blocks comprise only salt, while mineralised salt blocks also contain essential nutrients such as cobalt, zinc, iron, copper, manganese and iodine.

The supplements in mineralised salt blocks help enhance the milk production in milch cattle and keeps them healthy by regulating their metabolism.

Sodium bicarbonate
TCL's refined sodium bicarbonate is ideally suited for poultry feed and diet for dairy animals. It is of particular value as a non-chloride source of sodium in poultry diets.

Bicarbonate is also essential for strengthening eggshell quality under intensive production systems. When added to diets for dairy animals, sodium bicarbonate effectively counters the acidity of silage- and cereal-based concentrates, maintaining feed pH at its optimum level.
