Animal health and productive performance are influenced by many factors, including the environment in which animals live; for this reason, ensuring appropriate thermal comfort is essential.

As the summer season approaches, rising temperatures associated with climate change increase the occurrence of heat stress, also known as thermal stress.

The use of BICAR®Z is part of the nutritional strategies adopted to support ruminal stability and acid–base balance in ruminants, helping maintain productive performance under different feeding and farming conditions. The need for properly balanced supplementation is not limited to heat stress situations but applies to all conditions in which the diet may increase the risk of ruminal instability.

Among the various collaborations, the partnership between Solvay and the Faculty of Agriculture at the Catholic University of Piacenza contributed to the development of a software tool designed to calculate the appropriate BICAR®Z dosage to include in the ration of dairy cows.

What European regulations say

In the feed industry, choosing a complementary feed is never a minor detail. Let us clarify the legislation, labelling requirements, and the key aspects needed to ensure safety and traceability.

From a brilliant nineteenth-century insight to a central role in animal nutrition. We retrace the history of the Solvay Process, the Rosignano production site, and how sodium bicarbonate became a strategic ally.

A sustainable model for higher-performance plants:

The buffering effect of sodium bicarbonate finds new applications in biogas. Discover how BICAR®Z contributes to digester stability and production efficiency within a circular economy model

From 4 to 7 February, we will be exhibiting in Hall 9 – Stand C13. An opportunity to meet, exchange views on technical topics, and discover our latest developments.

Improving the feed efficiency of dairy cows is crucial for maximizing production and reducing costs and waste.

The use of specific dietary measures, including the addition of Valopro Teo and Valopro NRJ products, can be helpful in achieving these goals!

Ovopet® is an innovative and highly effective ingredient based on eggshell membrane.

It is a sustainable product proven on a scientific basis to be effective in these three areas: mobility, skin&fur, and gut health.

Salucid Biobased, produced by Chaincraft, is a product obtained through a specific production process that, starting from plant nutrients, allows for the creation of a mixture of medium and short chain fatty acids, particularly consisting of sodium caproate and butyrate.
