Using potassium diformate to make pigs less sick

The level of healthy breeding and food safety of modern breeding industry are related to people's livelihood. After the "African swine fever", the current situation of pig industry, the use of antibiotics, and how to improve the breeding environment, promote healthy breeding, and ensure food safety. In 2020, the key to pig breeding is to use potassium diformate instead of antibiotics to make pigs less sick.

Potassium diformate, as the first non antibiotic growth promoter approved by the European Union, has the advantages of no pollution, strong antibacterial, obvious growth promoting effect and convenient use. It is an important guarantee for the rapid, healthy and first development of animal husbandry.

In July 2001, the European Union approved potassium diformate as the first substitute of antibiotic growth promoting agent for pig feed. In April 2003, the European Union passed another directive regulation, approving the maximum safe addition limit of potassium diformate for piglets and growing pigs to 1.8% - 1.2%. In July 2005, the European Union timely issued the supplementary Commission regulation, approving the use of potassium diformate as a growth promoting agent in sow feed.

Advantages of potassium diformate in pig production
1. It has strong bactericidal and bacteriostatic effects to keep pigs healthy
It is generally believed that the improvement of production performance after adding antibiotics to feed is related to the inhibition of subclinical infection. Therefore, the reason why potassium diformate can promote the growth of antibiotics is that it has a strong killing effect on pathogenic bacteria in the intestinal tract, and its unique anti microbial function is based on the comprehensive effect of formic acid and formate. The complete form of potassium diformate has been ingested and passed through the acid stomach to the neutral and alkaline back-end intestinal tract, that is, it can be automatically decomposed into formic acid and formic acid Salt, non dissociated formic acid, passes through the cell wall of bacteria, makes pH drop in the cell, and pH in the cell is close to 7. The first generation of organic acid enters the cell, destroys the enzyme function in the cell and the nutrient delivery system, makes the microorganism unable to reproduce, causes death, and plays the function of bacteriostasis and sterilization.

2. Strong acidity, excellent slow release effect
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.

3. Slow release mold inhibitor can better prolong the preservation time of feed
Mould infects feed and causes feed mildew, which not only consumes nutrients in feed, but also reduces feed quality and feed reward. Potassium diformate is an organic acid salt containing formic acid. It also has the function of acidifier and plays the role of mildew prevention.

The use of antibiotics has played a very important role in the development of pig industry. However, with the development of pig industry, people pay more and more attention to food safety and animal welfare. Antibiotics will also be withdrawn from the stage of pig industry this year, and some feed additives accumulated in potassium diformate will be used to realize "no resistance" breeding.
