Sodium Humate: A Natural Solution for Animal Feed, Aquaculture & Environmental Management

✅ Introduction

Sodium Humate is the water-soluble sodium salt of humic acid, extracted from oxidized lignite or leonardite. It is rich in functional groups such as phenolic hydroxyl, carboxyl, and quinone structures that give it excellent properties in adsorption, chelation, antioxidation, and detoxification. Because of its low toxicity, high biocompatibility, and eco-friendliness, Sodium Humate is now widely used in animal feed, aquaculture, and environmental management as a cost-effective natural solution.

🐂 1. Sodium Humate in Animal Feed Industry

In the livestock and poultry industry, Sodium Humate is used as a natural feed additive that promotes animal growth and improves immunity.

🔍 Key Benefits:

• Improves Digestion: Enhances enzyme secretion and microbial balance in the gut, which increases nutrient absorption efficiency.

• Binds Toxins: Adsorbs mycotoxins, aflatoxins, heavy metals, and other harmful compounds in feed.

• Enhances Immunity: Stimulates the immune system and reduces oxidative stress in animals.

• Reduces Diarrhea and Mortality: Particularly effective in piglets, broilers, and calves during stress periods such as weaning or vaccination.

• Promotes Growth: Improves feed conversion ratio (FCR), reduces feed costs, and shortens fattening cycles.

🔬 Typical Application:

• Inclusion Rate: 0.1% – 0.5% in feed formulations.

• Compatible With: Antibiotics, probiotics, vitamins, and trace minerals.

🐠 2. Sodium Humate in Aquaculture

Sodium Humate is widely applied in shrimp, fish, crab, and other aquatic farming systems, serving both as a water conditioner and an immune enhancer.

🔍 Key Benefits:

• Water Purification: Binds with ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and nitrites (NO₂⁻) to reduce water toxicity.

• pH Buffer: Stabilizes pH levels, reducing stress in aquatic species.

• Boosts Immunity: Improves resistance against common diseases like Vibrio spp., EHP, and gill rot.

• Promotes Growth: Stimulates digestive enzyme activity and increases feed intake.

• Prevents Algal Blooms: Controls excess nutrient buildup and suppresses harmful algae.

💧 Application Methods:

• Pond Spraying: Dissolve in water and apply 2–5 kg/ha regularly.

• Feed Additive: Mix with commercial feeds at 0.5–1% inclusion.

🌍 3. Sodium Humate in Environmental Protection

Thanks to its strong complexation, ion exchange, and redox capacity, Sodium Humate plays a growing role in industrial and environmental technologies.

🔍 Key Benefits:

• Wastewater Treatment: Binds with heavy metals (Pb²⁺, Cd²⁺, Hg²⁺) and organic pollutants, making them insoluble and easier to remove.

• Soil Remediation: Improves soil structure, enhances microbial activity, and reduces contamination in degraded lands.

• Flue Gas Cleaning: Absorbs harmful gases and dusts in combustion and smelting processes.

• Odor Control: Neutralizes ammonia and sulfur compounds in composting or livestock facilities.

🏭 Typical Applications:

• Industrial effluent treatment

• Compost and landfill deodorization

• Brownfield site restoration
