0.3 – 0.5

Salt is added to the diets of poultry to meet the nutritional needs for sodium (Na) and chloride (Cl). There is no nutritional requirement for salt. Most poultry species need between 0.15 to 0.23 percent of Na and between 0.15 to 0.35 percent of Cl. Table salt (NaCl) contain 39.3% Na and 66.7% Cl. Thus, salt contains about 70% more Cl than Na (i.e., 66.7/39.3). Sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is about 27.3% Na and contains no Cl and it is commonly used to obtain a proper balance between Na and Cl. Most ingredients and premixes contain both Na and Cl; water also may contain Na and Cl. Therefore, it is important to consider the amount of Na and Cl of all ingredients and water to formulate a diet correctly.

Most chickens need between 0.12% to 0.2% sodium in the diet. If measured as NaCl or “salt,” it should be 0.4-0.6%.

Salt is an important nutrient for poultry because it contains sodium and chlorine, which are essential for life and productivity. However, too much salt can be toxic to poultry

[Bello Bashir Bello]

The recommended amount of salt in poultry feed is between 0.12% and 0.2% sodium, or 0.4% to 0.6% as NaCl. The National Research Council (NRC) recommends that poultry feed contain 0.10% to 0.25% sodium and chlorine.

[Md. Osman Sheikh]

He established the low level of toxicity to be about 0.98 gram of NaCl per kilogram of body weight.
