Intemax launches HydraStim™ Gold: supporting early chick performance and heat stress resilience

Intemax has announced the launch of HydraStim™ Gold, a highly concentrated supplement designed to support poultry hydration, energy, and resilience during the critical early days of life and periods of heat stress.

The first seven days of a chick’s life are widely recognised as a crucial window for long-term performance. During this period, birds are particularly vulnerable due to limited energy reserves, developing gut function, and exposure to stress including transport, temperature fluctuations, and delayed access to feed and water. HydraStim™ Gold has been developed to help maintain fluid balance, encourage early activity, and support nutrient absorption from the very beginning.

Formulated with a precise blend of electrolytes, HydraStim™ Gold promotes rapid rehydration and supports thermoregulation, particularly important should birds quickly lose essential minerals during heat stress. Readily available energy from dextrose helps counter increased metabolic demands, while betaine and sorbitol contribute to liver function and overall energy metabolism.

HydraStim™ Gold also incorporates a powerful antioxidant package, including curcumin, green propolis, and vitamin C, to help combat oxidative stress, reduce inflammation, and support immune function. These components play a key role in maintaining gut integrity and promoting a more resilient start for chicks.

Thanks to its high concentration, HydraStim™ Gold delivers effective results at a lower dose rate, offering a practical and cost-efficient solution for maintaining flock health and performance under pressure.

Visitors to the British Pig & Poultry Fair at Birmingham’s NEC can learn more about HydraStim™ Gold at the Intemax stand (6-520).
