Hydration Supplements for Hens - Chick'N Electrolyte

Chick'N Electrolyte is ideal during heat waves, as it helps maintain proper hydration and supports the body so it functions well and preserves its natural defenses.

General Benefits of Electrolytes for Chickens

Stress caused by weaning, heat, vaccination, and changes in feed can disrupt the balance of the intestinal microbiota.

These conditions can impair water balance, interfere with proper intestinal and immune function, and lead to an excess of ROS (reactive oxygen species).

Adding electrolytes to drinking water during hot weather, such as K+, Na+, and Cl− ions, promotes water intake and water retention. They play a direct role in maintaining acid-base balance and regulating osmotic pressure. Sayed, M. A. M., & Downing, J. (2011)

Positive Effects of Vitamins Present In Electrolytes For Laying Hens

Vitamins A, D, and the B-complex are known to help maintain proper regulation of physiological functions, including those involving the immune system and the intestinal tract. They play a significant role in maintaining and stabilizing the barrier function of epithelial cells and in the development of innate and adaptive immune functions.

Vitamins C and E are known for their antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. They promote the elimination of free radicals and help protect cells from oxidation during periods of stress. Additionally, these vitamins can mitigate the inflammatory response caused by oxidative stress. Lauridsen, C., et al (2021) and Shojadoost, Bahram, et al (2021)
