Potassium diformate is not only a new non-antibiotic growth promoter, but also has a good weight gain effect
In recent years, the use of antibiotics has become more inclined to "veterinary use". Abuse of antibiotics may bring serious consequences such as drug-resistant bacteria, teratogenicity, and carcinogenesis. In animal production, the use of fewer, restricted or banned antibiotics has become an inevitable trend, and it is also a topic of great concern to people. At present, there are many types of antibiotic substitutes with different mechanisms of action. Potassium diformate, as the first non-antibiotic growth promoter approved by the European Union to replace antibiotic growth promoters, has the advantages of no pollution, strong antibacterial properties, and obvious growth promoting effects, but what about the weight gain effect?
The reason why potassium diformate has the growth promotion effect of antibiotics is actually to use it to kill pathogenic bacteria in the intestine. Its unique antimicrobial function is based on the combined action of formic acid and formate. Potassium diformate contains 35.4% formic acid, 34.6% formate and 30% potassium. Pau licks et al. (1996) conducted a dose titration test to evaluate the effect of increasing PD levels on the performance of growing piglets.
The corn-soybean based diets were supplemented with 0, 0.4, 0.8, 1.2, 1.6, 2.0, 2.4, and 2.8% potassium diformate. The potassium diformate group increased the daily gain of the average added group by 13%, daily feed intake by 9%, and feed conversion rate by 4%. Compared with the untreated group, adding 2% PD increased body weight by 22%. According to the 1.8% maximum level registered by the European authorities, the weight gain can be increased to 14%, and the feed intake of the same dose of feed has increased significantly.
Studies at home and abroad have shown that potassium diformate has a significant effect on increasing the average daily weight gain, average daily feed intake and feed conversion rate of pigs. At the same time, studies have shown that potassium diformate and common antibiotic growth promoters have a synergistic effect on the growth promotion of pigs.
Even if the words say that potassium diformate has many advantages, the effect is good or not, what the manufacturers say is not true, is the effect of potassium diformate homogenized with other similar products on the market, and the product information and effect are homogenized Sales language and homogenization of technical services. The key lies in the awareness of farmers, as long as farmers think they can create value and bring profits, it is a good product.
