This study aimed to evaluate the use of sodium formate as a source of sodium in replacement of sodium chloride for broilers. A total of 690 female Ross broiler chickens were divided into five treatments with 6 replicates each. Each replicate had 23 birds. Treatments consisted of: T1 (control), T2 (sodium formate 0.20%Na+ with ammonium chloride), T3 (sodium formate 0.20%Na+ without ammonium chloride), T4 (sodium formate 0.16%Na+ with ammonium chloride) and T5 (sodium formate 0.12%Na+ without ammonium chloride). Ammonium chloride was added to some of the treatments to balance the electrolyte balance of the diets. Data were analyzed using ANOVA 5%. Means were separated using Tukey test.The use of sodium formate had no effect on performance and carcass traits of broilers. These results indicate that sodium formate can be used as a sodium source in replacement of sodium chloride for broilers.
