Sodium humate work as animal feed additives
Biological Activity Mechanism The main elemental composition of humic acid is carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur. It is a polycondensate of a polyvalent phenolic aromatic compound and a nitrogen compound. The molecular weight distribution is wide, the molecular weight of small molecules is tens of thousands, and the molecular weight of macromolecules is tens of thousands to millions.
The structure is also quite complicated, and contains various functional groups such as phenolic hydroxyl group, hydroxyl group, alcoholic hydroxyl group, hydrazine hydroxyl group, enol group, sulfonic acid group, amine group, free sulfhydryl group, sulfhydryl group, decyloxy group, methoxy group and the like. . Each composition is entangled by chemical and physical interactions such as bonding, hydrogen bonding, and adsorption.
Due to the presence of these reactive groups, the acidity, hydrophilicity, ion exchangeability, complexation and high adsorption capacity, buffering and catalytic ability of sodium humate are determined.
Sodium humate is also used as a feed additive, including in aquaculture feed.
