Feed Additives & Chemicals for the Poultry Industry
Minerals, vitamins, mould inhibitors and heat stress solutions that help feed mills and poultry farms raise healthier, more productive flocks.
Poultry Industry Chemicals Supplier in Pakistan
Poultry is one of Pakistan’s largest agricultural sectors, supplying chicken meat and eggs to millions of households every day. Healthy growth and strong egg production depend on balanced feed, clean water and good management, especially through hot summers.
Humayun Wellchem Trading Concern supplies feed mills, premix manufacturers and poultry farms with the feed-grade chemicals and additives they need. Here is where each one is used.

Minerals for Bones & Eggshells
Calcium and phosphorus are essential for skeletal growth in broilers and strong eggshells in layers. Feed phosphates and calcium sources are key parts of every poultry ration.
Chemicals used: Di-Calcium Phosphate, Mono Calcium Phosphate, Tricalcium Phosphate, Calcium Carbonate
Feed Preservation
Poultry feed and raw grains can develop mould in humid storage, which lowers nutrition and may produce harmful toxins. Mould inhibitors protect feed quality from the mill to the feeder.
Chemicals used: Calcium Propionate, Sorbic Acid, Potassium Sorbate
Water Acidifiers & Gut Health
Organic acids lower the pH of drinking water and feed, which helps support a healthy gut environment and keeps water lines cleaner.
Chemicals used: Citric Acid, Lactic Acid, Buffered Lactic Acid, Fumaric Acid, Acetic Acid
Heat Stress & Electrolytes
During summer heat, birds pant and lose electrolytes. Electrolyte salts and vitamin C in drinking water help birds cope, maintain feed intake and reduce losses.
Chemicals used: Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Chloride, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Magnesium Sulphate, Potassium Citrate
Vitamins & Antioxidants
Vitamins support immunity, fertility and growth, while antioxidants protect the fats and vitamins in feed from breaking down during storage.
Chemicals used: Vitamin A, Vitamin E, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), BHA + BHT
Toxin Binders & Pellet Quality
Clay-based binders help reduce the effects of mycotoxins in feed, and anticaking agents keep premixes and mash feed free flowing.
Chemicals used: Bentonite, Silicon Dioxide, Calcium Silicate
Protecting Feed From Mould
Grain and finished feed stored in warm, humid conditions can grow mould within days. Mould lowers the energy value of feed and can produce mycotoxins that harm bird health and performance. Adding a mould inhibitor such as calcium propionate at the mill, combined with a toxin binder where needed, helps protect both the feed and the flock.
Quick Reference: Chemicals by Function
| Function | HWTC chemicals | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Feed phosphates | Di-Calcium Phosphate, Mono Calcium Phosphate | Broiler and layer feed |
| Calcium sources | Calcium Carbonate, Tricalcium Phosphate | Layer feed, eggshell quality |
| Mould inhibitors | Calcium Propionate, Sorbic Acid | Feed and grain storage |
| Acidifiers | Citric, Lactic, Fumaric and Acetic Acid | Drinking water, feed |
| Electrolytes | Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Chloride | Heat stress in summer |
| Vitamins & antioxidants | Vitamin A, E, C, BHA + BHT | Premixes, water soluble packs |
| Binders & flow aids | Bentonite, Silicon Dioxide | Toxin binding, premixes |
Stronger Shells, Fewer Losses
Cracked and thin-shelled eggs are a direct loss for layer farmers. Shell quality depends on a steady supply of calcium and available phosphorus, which becomes harder to maintain in heat stress. Well-balanced feed phosphates, calcium sources and vitamin support help layers keep producing strong, saleable eggs through the year.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why is dicalcium phosphate used in poultry feed?
Dicalcium phosphate supplies both calcium and phosphorus in a form birds can absorb well. It supports bone development in broilers and eggshell formation in layers.
How does sodium bicarbonate help during heat stress?
In hot weather birds pant to cool down and lose carbon dioxide, which upsets their acid-base balance. Sodium bicarbonate in feed or water helps restore that balance and supports feed intake and eggshell quality.
What is calcium propionate used for in feed?
Calcium propionate is a mould inhibitor. It slows mould growth in feed and grains during storage, protecting nutritional value and reducing the risk of mycotoxins.
