Rations containing approximately 85% ground high-moisture, ensiled corn were fed to steers in such a way as to produce lactic acid acidosis, and three dietary buffers were evaluated in regard to their effect on ruminal and systemic acidosis. The buffers consisted of (1) 2% sodium bentonite, (2) 1% sodium bentonite plus 1% dolomitic limestone, and (3) 1% sodium bentonite plus 1% potassium bicarb...

this study was conducted to investigate the effect of ascites-related physiological and metabolic parameters in broiler chickens fed with different components of bentonite. two hundred and seven days old arian male chicks were allocated into five dietary treatment groups including 1) basal diet (control); 2) basal diet + 1% sulphated sodium bentonite (ssb); 3) basal diet + 1% non-processed sodi...

application of hyperactivation process in palletizing iron ore, in order to decrease bentoniteconsumption has been investigated. different amounts of bentonite and sodium hydroxide, as activating agents,were added to iron ore and the quality of formed pellets were determined. the results show that addition of 0.01pct. naoh improves the pellet quality significantly while the bentonite content re...

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of ascites-related physiological and metabolic parameters in broiler chickens fed with different components of bentonite. Two hundred and seven days old Arian male chicks were allocated into five dietary treatment groups including 1) basal diet (control); 2) basal diet + 1% sulphated sodium bentonite (SSB); 3) basal diet + 1% non-processed sodi...

A study was conducted to determine the effect of ration containing differently treated Sodium Bentonite on broiler performance. 280 day-old broiler chicks were randomly allocated to 7 experimental groups designated as A (Control), B & C (Sodium Bentonite 0.5% & 1.0% respectively), D & E (Sodium Bentonite + Gention Violet 0.5% & 1.0% respectively), F & G (Sodium Bentonite + Acetic Acid 0.5% & 1....
