Potassium diformate is essential for a pig to grow well
Pig raising is not as simple as keeping a pet or two. The quality of a row of pigs is the key from the childhood. If the piglet is not well developed or has diseases, it will affect its growth speed, which is not good for pig farmers. Chuandong Chemical tell you that potassium diformate is essential for a pig to grow well.
Because of its unique anti microbial function, potassium diformate is based on the comprehensive action of formic acid and formate. It is mainly the action of small molecule organic acid formic acid and potassium ion, which is also the basic consideration for EU to approve potassium diformate as an antibiotic substitute.
Let's look at the role of potassium diformate in pig production:
1. Effect on pig performance. The results showed that there was no significant difference in daily gain and feed utilization between pigs fed with potassium dicarboxylate 1.2%, 0.8% and 0.6% respectively.
2. Effect on carcass quality. Adding potassium diformate to the diets of growing finishing pigs can reduce the fat content in pork carcass and increase the lean meat content in thigh, flank, waist, neck and waist.
3. The effect on diarrhea of weaned piglets. Weaned piglets are prone to diarrhea two weeks after weaning due to the lack of antibodies provided by sows and the lack of gastric acid secretion. Potassium diformate has the function of antibacterial, bactericidal and reducing intestinal harmful bacteria, which has a positive effect on the prevention of piglet diarrhea. The experiment showed that adding potassium diformate in piglet diet could reduce diarrhea rate by 30%.
We all know that the frequent use of antibiotics in the past not only induced the production of drug-resistant bacteria (superbacteria), the confusion of intestinal beneficial bacteria, and affected the normal function of the digestive system, but also caused the attention of the general public. For the sustainable development of the industry, China's agricultural and rural areas issued announcement No. 194, which marks the withdrawal of antibiotic growth promoting agents from the historical stage after July 1, 2020.
The important reason that potassium diformate is added to pig feed as growth promoting agent is its safety and antibacterial effect, which are based on its simple and unique molecular structure. Its main components, formic acid and potassium formate, are naturally present in nature and pig intestine, and finally metabolized into CO2 and water, with complete biodegradability. Potassium diformate is not only acidic, but also slowly released in the digestive tract. It has a high buffer capacity, which can avoid the excessive fluctuation of acidity in the gastrointestinal tract of animals.
Studies have shown that 85% of potassium diformate enters the duodenum in a complete form through the pig stomach. The recovery rate of formate in duodenum, jejunum and jejunum was 83%, 38% and 17% respectively. It can be seen from this that potassium diformate has a good prospect in the pig industry. The prohibition of antibiotics, in order to ensure the growth performance of pigs, potassium diformate is really indispensable.
