Common Questions
- How does ammonium chloride prevent urinary calculi?
- Stones will form in the bladder if ruminants if the calcium phosphorus ratio is less than 2:1. Grains have high phosphorus and forages are generally low in phosphorus. Ruminants on high forage rations will have a high calcium to phosphorus ratio, especially if they are eating clover or any alfalfa. Sheep or goats on growing and finishing rations have high levels of grain. To correct the calcium-to-phosphorus ratio feed grade limestone is added to formulated feed to increase calcium and prevent calculi.
If the ratio is lower than 2:1, struvite crystals will form in the bladder that can form into stones. Ammonium chloride can be added to ration formulation as an insurance against incorrect formulation, or more importantly higher phosphorus in feedstuffs than what was estimated. This will change the pH of the urine and prevent stone formation if crystals are present. Ammonium chloride should never be used to correct poor nutrition or ration formulation, only as insurance.

Sheep was back to urinating without pain very quickly (couple of days), but the bag came ripped and product spilling into the next bag.
Daniel R from Michigan
Packaged well, the powder was extremely dry with no clumps for easy dosing. And 5 pounds for 6.00 can't be beat and will last a year, or two.

This rating is more for Premier1Supplies as I really haven't checked the quality of the product against any laboratory grade. I found the price of the product to be fair and competitive even factoring in the shipping costs. I received the product promptly, in fact I would say much quicker than I expected. It was clean, dry, and free of clumps or anything else indicating improper storage. I trust the product and will order from Premier again.
