Antimicrobial Agent: It can help suppress pathogenic bacterial species in the gut, potentially improving digestive health and overall performance.

Dietary Electrolyte Balance: It can help balance electrolytes in the diet, which is important for poultry health and performance.

Improved Productivity: Studies have shown that sodium formate can lead to improvements in weight gain, feed conversion ratio, and feed intake.

Gut Health: It can positively impact gut health by potentially improving nutrient digestibility and reducing gut inflammation.

Safety: The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has deemed sodium formate safe for all animal species at certain concentrations, including laying hens.
