“…Maiorka et al (2004) observed a quadratic response for increasing Na levels (from 0.10 to 0.46%) in pre-starter diets on body weight gain (BWG), feed conversion ratio (FCR), FI and water consumption. It has been demonstrated that Na has an important role in feed intake (FI) just after hatching for stimulating the secretion and activity of certain digestive enzymes.…”

Electrolytes (sodium, potassium and chloride) are compounds that dissolve into positive and negative particles in solution. The relationship between these compounds, known as the 'dietary electrolyte balance' (DEB), is affected by either electrolyte or its supplemental salt source. The National Research Council recommended 0.20% sodium, chloride, and 0.30% potassium for starter phase and lower doses of sodium and chloride for the finisher phase of broilers. However, these requirements are increased under heat stress conditions, and birds perform better when increasing levels of these electrolytes are offered, maintaining a DEB of preferably 250 mEq/kg. Increased levels of these electrolytes, especially sodium, were found effective for growth but caused increased water consumption and ultimately higher litter moisture in summer. Potassium and chloride were found effective in the diets of heat-stressed broilers. Sodium bicarbonate and potassium chloride have been recognised as the best choice in salt selection for broiler diets, particularly under hot summer conditions. In conclusion, a combination of the electrolytes with higher levels of cations and lower level of anions is recommended. Furthermore, the requirements of these electrolytes should be explored, with reference to current poultry housing systems and modern genetics.

“…Vieira, Penz, Pophal, and Almeida () reported that broilers aged 1–7 days in a 0.48% Na + group had the highest mortality rate. Maiorka, Magro, and Bartels () showed that the optimum ADG and ADFI resulted when the Na + level was 0.4%, higher than the NRC recommendation. Koreleski, Światkiewicz, and Arczewska () found that there was a positive correlation between dietary Na + and growth performance.…”

A total of 702 1‐day‐old male Jiangnan White goslings were used to study the effects of varying levels of Na+ and Cl− on their growth performance and blood parameters. In this experiment, goslings were randomly allotted to nine treatments, with six pens per treatment in a 3 × 3 factorial arrangement, and fed diets with three concentrations of added Na+ (0.10%, 0.15% and 0.20%) and three concentrations of added Cl− (0.15%, 0.20% and 0.25%). The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the sensitivity of goslings to Na+ and Cl− during brooding to determine the appropriate levels of Na+ and Cl− in their feed. The results are as follows: (a) Different levels of Na+ and Cl− in the diet, especially low Na+ and Cl−, significantly affected the body weight (BW), average daily gain (ADG) and feed/gain ratio (F/G) of the 28‐day‐old goslings (p < .05). But Na+ × Cl− has no significant effect on water consumption (p > .05). (b) Serum concentrations of urea increased linearly with Na+ content (p < .05). Serum concentrations of creatinine (CR) and uric acid (UA) increased linearly with Cl− content (p < .05). (c) Na+ × Cl− has a significant impact on the serum sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl; p < .05). The content of serum Na and Cl increased linearly with increasing levels of Na+ and Cl−. These results show that low levels of Na+ and Cl− had significant adverse effects on the growth of 1‐ to 28‐day‐old goslings. The results of the experiment support a recommendation to supplement the diet of goslings with 0.20% Cl− and not <0.15% Na+.

“…This also happened in experiment 2, with total sodium levels of 0.178-0.384%. In studies with pre-starter broilers, Maiorka et al (2004) reported that 0.45% dietary sodium resulted in the highest water intake compared with 0.10, 0.22, and 0.34%. When sodium bicarbonate was diluted in water (experiment 2), the basal diet contributed with 0.109% sodium, and sodium levels …”
